The Xiangshan Campus of the China Academy of Art is a university campus in Hangzhou designed by Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu of Amateur Architecture Studio. Development began in 2001 and proceeded in two phases for the China Academy of Art.

The campus holds more than twenty buildings, and the whole site is organized around a hill. Its walls and roofs reuse more than seven million salvaged bricks and tiles, a choice that gives the buildings a weathered, varied surface.

The buildings house several faculties of the academy, including Architecture and Design. The source does not give a single completion year, so the date shown marks the start of the work.

This building has no Wikipedia article. Facts come from Arquitectura Viva: Xiangshan Campus.
