INTERNATIONAL CULTURE
AND ART CENTRE
ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS
The new Culture & Arts Centre by Zaha Hadid Architects
incorporates a contemporary art museum (MICA), a 1,800-seat
theatre with supporting facilities and a multipurpose hall. Its
organic architectural language is defined by pedestrian routes
that weave through the site to connect with neighbouring streets.
Providing views of the adjacent Meixi Lake from the city and
giving access to the parks and walking trails on the lake’s Festival
Island, this ensemble of three separate cultural institutions creates
external courtyards where pedestrian routes intersect for outdoor
events and sculpture exhibitions.
