All theaters are equipped with specialized tools to produce acoustics of the highest caliber and are adaptable enough to accommodate various performances. Like traveling through a bamboo jungle, people can scale the structure and explore the paths of the facade.Ĭurved walls and ceilings give the interior area, which serves as a venue for public gatherings, communication, and display, a continuous and fluid appearance.

Indoor and outdoor spaces are difficult to distinguish because to the terraces and glass curtain walls around the central courtyard. To bring the lake view inside and connect the cultural center and exhibition center on both sides, the building’s south side was constructed as an aerial bridge toward the lake. Thus, a courtyard, named the Moon Garden, was prioritized as the focal point of the site rather than a building, enabling the public to visit whether there is a performance or not.


Because the site is located between the city and the lake, the design prioritized the continuity of urban space. Constructed as the most significant cultural complex of Yangzhou, a historic city known for its gardens, canal, culture, and art, the Yangzhou Grand Canal Theatre has a 1600-seat opera theater, an 800-seat drama hall, a multi-function hall, and a Chinese opera hall, with a total construction area of 144,700 square meters.
