Images Publishing Group Pty Ltd Shaping Changes: lineplusstudio

Recent works of line+ studio illustrating how architecture triggers changes in ChinaSince the 1990s, China’s rapid urbanization has triggered an unprecedented construction boom. If the early phase of urban construction was mainly marked by its extensiveness, the more recent requirements of a highly commerce-oriented society and the ever-changing utilization of space in the digital age have given rise to a concern for—and a renewed recognition of—quality. In this context, Shaping Changes presents recent projects by line+, a design studio founded by two young Chinese architects Meng Fanhao and Zhu Peidong, and its pursuit of design quality through a range of projects from rural revitalization to high-tech headquarters, from education campus to cultural facilities. The diversity and design quality of line+ works is evidenced by its participation at the Arsenale at the 2021 Venice Biennale How Will We Live Together and its recent overseas commissioned projects, which are also presented within this volume.
