Nanchang Grand Theatre / PES-Architects

Translucent ceramic vessel of cultureThe Nanchang Grand Theatre is a translucent, ceramic-clad new landmark and cultural hub in in the capital of Jiangxi Province, China. The 45,000 m2 culture and arts centre functions as a cultural living room for the rapidly developing Nanchang South New City area, attracting a broad audience with opera and varied theatre and music performances. The design is based on PES-Architects' winning entry in the international design competition in 2021. The project was realised in collaboration with local partners BIAD and ZNF.
