1997

She co-founded Amateur Architecture Studio in 1997, alongside business partner Wang Shu, in Hangzhou, China.

They chose the name as a rebuke of the "professional, soulless architecture" practiced in China, which they believe has contributed to the large-scale demolition of many old urban neighborhoods.

The practice became known for its use of natural materials such as wood, stones, and mud, bringing in aspects of the greater landscape.

2003

She worked on the Ningbo History Museum from 2003 until 2008.

2006

In 2006, she worked on the Tiled Garden installation at the 2006 Venice Biennale, where "a sea of tens of thousands of recycled tiles from the local area were carefully laid in rows and accessed by pedestrian bamboo bridges."

In 2010, Lu Wenyu and her partner Wang Shu won the German Schelling Architecture Prize for their work with Amateur Architecture.

In 2012, Wang Shu was awarded the Pritzker Prize for the work the duo completed together in their firm, Amateur Architecture Studio.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Wang Shu expressed his sentiment that Lu Wenyu deserved to share the Pritzker Prize with him.

2013

In 2013 Lu Wenyu was quoted stating that "[At Amateur Architecture Studio] we spend an enormous amount of time experimenting, trying to resurrect the craftsmanship that is almost lost. We use a method that is passed on, hand-to-hand, to re-establish tradition instead of talking about abstract but empty concepts."

They later showcased materials used in the rebuild at the 2016 Venice architecture biennale.

In July 2016, she and Shu gave the annual architecture lecture at The Royal Academy.
