OPEN Unveils Design for Yichang Grand Theater - A Partially Floating Performing Arts Center by the Yangtze River

With great pleasure we have once again joined the Open Architecture team around this incredible project. The Yichang Grand Theater (China) consists of a 1,600-seat grand theatre, a 1,200-seat concert hall, a 400-seat black box, a rooftop theater and a water theater. In addition to the performance space, the building will also host multiple functions such as education, rehearsals, exhibitions, cafe, restaurants, etc. which makes the Grand Theater a public cultural venue active and open 24 hours a day.

An ode to nature, as the foundation of Art, culture and knowledge.
