China Academy of Art Xiangshan Campus
中国美术学院象山校区
A campus complex designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Wang Shu, where old brick and tile walls, bamboo-formwork concrete and the Xiangshan landscape blend together.
The Xiangshan Campus lies in Zhuantang and was designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Wang Shu's team. The walls use millions of salvaged old bricks and tiles. The buildings are set into Xiangshan Mountain, leaving farmland and streams in place, and the campus is a representative work of contemporary Chinese architecture. The Waterside Mountain Dwelling and the Folk Art Museum (designed by Kengo Kuma) are also on campus. Campus opening policies change from time to time, and the Folk Art Museum usually accepts reservations, so please check before visiting. It is about 15 km from West Lake and can be visited on the same route as Yunqi Bamboo Path and Songcheng.
