Trade Publication Article
GUANGZHOU OPERA HOUSE
2011
Overview
The skin combines parametric geometry with traditional methods, such as the sand-casting of the main structural steel nodes, and it is vaulted off of a separate, interior volume of concrete that houses the opera theater. The sweeping staircases and scuipted terraces of the foyer in the main volume give way to the auditorium, where curving balconies - designed to fragment the sound acoustically and to assure sighi lines - emerge smoothly from walls, forming continuous surfaces within what Schumacher calls the \"balanced asymmetry\" of the auditorium.
