The main construction contains a large Dance Theatre which is specific for dancing and musical performaces with a capacity of 1600 people and a multi-functional theatre which can hold 800 people for drama play.  Image Courtesy © Qihua Liu, Kege Ling The dome of the main Dance Theatre was designed for both structural purpose and a special function. The steel-frame dome can be rotated, opened and closed to meet different performance requirements. The interior U-shape plan adopts the form of roman traditional theatre and the space is separated into 3 levels vertically. Sight analysis was carried out to allocate the seats in the theatre. To ensure best acoustic performance, the main source will be natural and each seat for audience takes up7.7 m³(the total volume is12300 m³). The reverberation time could be adjusted due to different performance requirements.

And the rotated blocks provide a best view. The library is mainly made up of 3 parts including the basement block containing 2 levels, the cantilever (3rd floor) and the connection.

Additionally, the triangular atrium ensures enough daylight of the reading room. The library use the similar material and construction strategy as the theatre.

The fusiform section of the tower ensures least wind friction. The section is 5 meters long and 2 meters wide at its widest part. The flag tower is separated at golden ratio into three parts and the middle part is rotated 45 degrees facing the main street for LED screen installation.  Image Courtesy © DSD The flag tower is mainly constructed by round-hollow steel columns and covered by aluminum perforated plates which are highly consistent with the theatre’s facade. It is considered that the laconic shape of the tower resembles a light tower or a sailboat in the sea abstracted from the weaving facade of the theatre.
