Together they have run Amateur Architecture Studio, based in Hangzhou, China, for nearly 20 years. At a time when China s explosive urbanization is making inroads into rural areas and leaving the marks of cheap concrete construction everywhere, Amateur Architecture Studio is keen to work against this tendency by reusing materials from the buildings that Chinese authorities are systematically tearing down.
