Steven Chilton Architects has released visuals of Guangzhou Show Theatre, which is currently under construction in Huadu District to the north of the city of Guangzhou in southern China.

The Yue Show Theatre concept was inspired by Chinese silk, a fabric known for its exquisite texture and rich historical significance. The building’s appearance is composed in plan of ten gently curving and twisting folds that have been designed to evoke the drape and texture of a silk scarf.

The building are being constructed to house a permanent water show by Franco Dragone and performances by visiting production companies.
