The Nanjing Performing Arts Center designed by Preston Scott Cohen Inc in collaboration with local architects Zhang Lei. This building built in 16,000 sqm project area, located centrally in the new Nanjing University Campus in Xianlin, this building aims to offer a singular expression of the dialogue between two opposing paradigmatic forms of symbolic significance: a curving roof that appears to be related to the landscape of the larger campus context, and a tower which acts as a beacon and observation point. The design exploits the techniques and economy of local construction practices as a means to develop an exceptional form. The interior follows an exceedingly compact plan of different types and sizes of rooms and auditoriums. Photos by Iwan Baan
