Winner: Architect of the year 2024. Hangzhou-based architecture studio Line+ studio.

Line+ studio was founded by Fanhao Meng and Peidong Zhu in 2017. From the construction of urban space to the revitalization of rural civilization, Line+ responds to and interprets the diverse connotations of contemporary culture, deeply explores the potential value under the business logic, and strives to become a ferryman between culture and commerce.

Recent projects include Woven Gateway and Sky Ring and Yunhai Forest Service Station.

“This prolific studio has consistently demonstrated a great balance of design creativity and quality control. The sensitivity towards local culture is evident through the materiality in each project,” our architecture judges commented.
