Qingdao Grand Theater in China (Hardcover)

Focus on the detail of the design of the Qingdao Grand Theater in China. The Grand Theater Qingdao lies in the Laoshan district of the harbour city at a newly created park that stretches from the sea to the foot of the Laoshan mountains. The objective of the design was to translate the landscape and the elements into the language of architecture, creating a unique ensemble in harmony with the genius loci, or spirit, of the place. The building rises up out of the landscape like a mountain massif, while a 'floating' cloud-like roof surrounds it. This publication shows the significance of this 'stage of urban life' in the historical context of China's opera and concert houses. Texts by the architecture critic Christian Brensing and photos by the architecture photographer Christian Gahl present the building in detail. Text in English and German.
