About the Book
Beyond the wall is simply a photographic reflection on the historical change which is taking place in such a vast country : China.
Observing this Chinese - deep with his eyes beyond the wall of an antique dwelling place located in the centre of Ningbo – inspired me to imagine for a moment his thoughts, probably his doubts or his astonishment for such a big contrast.
The wish of experiencing new architectures, and at the same time the need of preserving the history of his country, is the main theme of the works created from Chinese architect Wang Shu, Amateur Architecture studio, recently awarded of Pritzker Architecture Prize 2012.
Some of his projects are illustrated here further and in some way these would like to reassure who is looking behind the wall.
They can still see someone is trying with his contribution to preserve what little which still remains to keep alive.
