Founded in 2016 by Zhou Suning, Tang Tao, and Wu Ziye, the Nanjing-based practice got its start in rural China, where government investment aims to revitalize areas that have long suffered from lagging economic development and depopulation.
Based in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Briar Hickling and Alex Mok of Linehouse build site-sensitive projects around knowledge of local materials and Chinese craftsmanship.
Part of a younger generation of Chinese architects looking inward, Line+ seeks inspiration from the country's architectural heritage and its natural surroundings.
