With its fast-growing international influence, The Futian district of Shenzhen now has much more potential in its influence and driving force, which could serve China as a nation.

An International Performance Center, under this background, becomes an urgent need for Futian CBD that could end the lack of large-scale performance centers and high-end theaters.

The design features two richly textured egg like shells which reflect the duality of Shenzhen’s past and future and creates a dynamic building whose appearance changes with the time of the day and season. The building will be in downtown Shenzhen near the Civic Center linked to a new subway station hub and

underground retail complex. The Performance Center includes an elegant lobby with views to the surrounding parks. Seated within the multi-level atrium, the two golden shells encase the Dream Theater (200 seat), Star Concert hall (1100 seat) and a rehearsal hall. In addition to various flexible practice rooms, dressing rooms and shops. The program also includes a restaurant, an exhibition hall, a café at the performer’s entry and a VIP event space.
