Taipei Performing Arts Center by OMA completed

OMA / Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten-designed Taipei Performing Arts Center completes. This compact and flexible space at Taipei’s vibrant Shilin Night Market is a place for new possibilities in performing arts. Its free-to-access Public Loop invites the masses into the building to experience different aspects of the theater.

The building is composed of a spherical 800-seat Globe Playhouse, a 1,500-seat Grand Theater, and a 800-seat Blue Box plugged into a central cube. The cube accommodates the stages, back stages, and support spaces of the three theaters, allowing the Grand Theater and the Blue Box to be coupled to form a Super Theater—a massive space with factory quality for unsuspected performances. The Globe Playhouse with a unique proscenium allows experimentation with stage framing.
