Project Brief
The new Changsha Meixihu International Culture and Art Centre by Zaha Hadid Architects is the centrepiece of a massive $130 billion infrastructure plan to revitalise the Changsha.
Project Innovation/Need
Changsha Meixihu International Culture and Art Centre, located on the banks of the Meixi Lake incorporates a contemporary art museum (MICA), an 1,800-seat theatre with supporting facilities and a multipurpose hall. The 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.
