Location: Guangzhou, China.

Architect: Zaha Hadid Architects.

This significant Chinese music hall structure, which overlooks the Pearl River, is at the centre of the growth of Guangzhou’s cultural sites. Guangzhou will be confirmed as one of Asia’s cultural hubs thanks to the use of cutting-edge technology in its design and construction, which will serve as a lasting monument to the New Millennium. By providing access to the riverbank and port areas and opening up a new line of communication with the developing new town, the opera house’s distinctive twin boulder design will improve urban function.
