Dong Danshen
Chairman & Chief Architect, The Architectural Design and Research Institute of Zhejiang University
In 1986, Dong Danshen graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering of Zhejiang University and is now the Chairman and Chief Principal Architect of the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Zhejiang University. He’s always focused on architectural creation and research, and founded the “Balanced Architecture” theoretical framework.

In 2018, his works were featured in the “Art of Europe” International Architecture Exhibition, and he was invited to participate in the Venice Architecture Biennale in China in 2020. He has also published two monographs, Towards Balance and Knowledge and Practice in the Construction of University Campuses.
