Wa Shan Guest House, A Mountain of Tiles on Elephant Hill
Description
The China Academy of Art allowed architect Wang Shu (Pritzker Prize, 2012) to work in total freedom. Made up of many elements, the Guest House is much more than just another gesture of today's "star architecture". Built upon the ruins of tradition, it bears the values that anchor it in the future.
