The Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre is an impressive complex with three distinct cultural establishments. These are the Performing Arts Centre, which boasts a 1200-seat Grand Theatre; a 500-retractable-seat multifunctional Black Box theatre; an interactive Science Centre; and an Art Museum. [...]
"Integrating three distinct cultural institutions for the city, each venue within the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Arts Centre incorporates unique characteristics that create differing visitor experiences, yet all are united by a coherent formal and structural logic," "Echoing the chevron patterns of migratory birds flying in formation over southern China, the latticed steel canopies sheltering each venue are configured through repetition, symmetry, and scale variation," said Zaha Hadid Architects.
I like this amazing structure and form that looks like the butterfly or bird is spreading its wings and perching on the shore. It's fancy and elegant from the facade of the building to the interior space. The curves-shaped design shows a very sexy and flexible natural form applied to architecture. It also highlights the magnificence and majesty of nature as well. It reminds me of the "Vanessa" - kitchen building from the San Francisco Community Center project in 2021 with butterfly wings and biomimicry design.
