HASSELL was invited to take part in a limited invitation international design competition for the new Chongqing Grand Theatre in central mainland China. The HASSELL design created a new gateway for Chongqing and the Jiangbei master plan. The design consists of an 1,800 seat grand theatre and 800 seat recital hall. These two primary venues are linked with a plaza and glazed roof to form a vibrant public space. Terraced, naturally ventilated interior lobby spaces have expansive views out to the Nan Mountains, Jialing River and Yangtze River. The two theatre buildings and linking roof straddle a new and vital pedestrian link from the Jialing River Quay to the new Jianbei central business district.
The buildings forms are designed to facilitate pedestrian movement in and around the complex. The design integrates the existing landscape, historic buildings and ancient city wall, and provides clear views to and from the existing Mingseng central business district.....
