A Shenzhen, Ennead Architects disegna il nuovo International Performance Center

I due enormi volumi dorati riprenderanno le forme organiche dell’acqua, dialogando con la luce e le stagioni.

Al termine di un concorso internazionale è stato scelto lo studio Ennead Architects per progettare il nuovo International Performance Center a Shenzhen (in Cina), una delle più grandi capitali tecnologiche del mondo.

Situato nel quartiere di Futian, l’edificio – soprannominato “The People’s Performing Arts Center” – farà parte di un masterplan più ampio. Composto da due volumi dorati, il progetto si propone di rappresentare la dualità di Shenzhen, tra la tradizione e il futuro. Le  sue forme organiche somigliano al movimento delle acque nella baia vicina e le facciate danno vita a una superficie dinamica, che cambia secondo la stagione e l’ora della giornata.

Il Performing Arts Center ospiterà un teatro, una sala da concerti, svariate sale prove e camerini, oltre a diversi servizi pubblici tra cui negozi, un ristorante e uno spazio espositivo.
