Wuxi Grand Theater

Wuxi Grand Theater

Wuxi Grand Theater, designed by Pekka Salminen. The project uses bamboo in the interior as well as exterior of the Opera Theater. This is a 1st in the theater construction where bamboo replaces all wood material to give a natural look and feel. In the main auditorium solid bamboo material creates a “banded” space. The sustainable technical bamboo material was cut with latest CNC technology, and the shape and material were developed to match our acoustical demands.
