Tianjin Grand Theater in China (Hardcover)

The architects behind the new cultural park, Tianjin Grand Theater, offer an insight into their design process. A new culture park has been created in recent years in the Chinese harbour city of Tianjin. The Tianjin Grand Theater occupies a key position on this site, entering into a dialogue with its architectural surroundings. The circular form of the roof construction relates to that of the Natural History Museum there in such a way that it creates a connection between the earthbound museum and the seemingly floating theatre building. In this volume, the architects responsible illuminate the Grand Theater by means of texts and images, and show how syntheses can be created between western and eastern traditions in a highly modern building. The architecture critic Jurgen Tietz discusses the building in a detailed critique. Text in English and German.
