Third-year M.Arch student A.L. Hu speaks with Li Hu on the occasion of his lecture at Columbia GSAPP on March 27, 2017. Li Hu is founding partner of the Beijing-based firm OPEN Architecture, and former partner of Steven Holl Architects.
They discuss the influence of New York in Li Hu’s professional development and the city’s relationship to Chinese cities, the integral role of nature and plants in his projects, and the need to create public space that brings people together and introduces drama to urban life.
“I would love to work on something I haven’t worked on. … This desire comes from your dissatisfaction with the things you see, and you want to do something that’s better.”
–Li Hu
