The plans for the Nanhai Art Centre in Foshan City, Guangdong, south east China, have been made public by MAD Architects. The 59,445 square metre project consists of three primary components: a sports centre, a museum, and a grand theatre.
With a new public entrance to the shoreline, the centre’s wave-like shape aims to promote community and traditional culture. After construction is finished, the art centre aims to become a brand-new water-front public area that combines artistic and social elements.
The grand theatre and museum are situated on one side of the centre’s plan, which creates a visual axis towards the lake, by national museum standards.
