Wei-Wu-Ying Arts & Cultural Centre, Kaohsiung - Taiwan
The Wei-Wu-Ying Centre inspired by the local Banyan trees with their iconic crowns has been designed by Mecanoo. An open-air theatre nestles on the roof where the structure curves to the ground, with the surrounding park forming the stage. Different theatres such as the 2000-seat concert hall and 2250-seat opera hall are located in the five cores or ‘legs’ of the building where the structure meets the ground. The cores connect with one another via foyers in the roof and an underground service floor which houses the backstage area of each theatre.
State Automation has been chosen to supply lighting equipment to the Play House, the Concert Hall, the Recital Hall and the Lyric Theatre.
