The design of Wuxi Grand Theatre, a cultural building, has the full participation of Finland and China in almost all aspects, which not only embodies the typical Finnish architectural characteristics, but also conforms to the special regional and cultural factors of China.

design concept

The main design concept of Wuxi Grand Theatre is based on its regional location. Wuxi Grand Theatre is located on the artificial peninsula on the south bank of Taihu Lake, and there is a highway bridge nearby, which makes the base position comparable to Sydney Grand Theatre. This orientation determines that Wuxi Grand Theatre has become an important landmark building. The building rose from the base to 50 meters like a huge statue. The eight huge roofs of the building extend out of the wall like wings, making the theater look like a butterfly. The big roofs are also beneficial to block the heat of the sun. The architectural design concept is unique: there are thousands of LED lights in the steel wing. The color of the wings can be changed according to the characteristics of the performance. This concept is realized because the bottom of the wings is covered with perforated aluminum plates.

Another feature of the design concept of Wuxi Grand Theatre is the "forest" composed of 50 9-meter-high light columns. The pillar starts from the square at the main entrance, supports the roof of the central hall, and extends into the lake along the lake through the entrance. A characteristic with strong China characteristics runs through the whole building: a large number of bamboo materials are used, both traditional and modern in China. Recently, some new methods of manufacturing and using bamboo have enabled the audience hall of the main theater to be wrapped by15,000 solid bamboos with different shapes, which are determined according to the sound demand and architectural image. Wuxi Grand Theatre has also adopted a material with Finnish characteristics, that is, nearly 20,000 specially designed glass bricks on the curved wall of the lakeside of the audience hall of the theater. Finland's nature, lakes and ice and snow are the sources of inspiration for architectural design.
