Architects: Zaha Hadid Architects

Area: 11500 m²
Project finished Year: 2019
Address: Mei Xi Hu Lu, Yuelu Qu, Changsha Shi, Hunan Sheng, China

• The new Culture & Arts Centre by Zaha Hadid Architects incorporates a contemporary art
museum (MICA), a 1,800-seat theatre with supporting facilities and a multipurpose hall.

• Its organic architectural language is defined by pedestrian routes that weave through the site to connect
with neighbouring streets.

• Providing views of the adjacent Meixi Lake from the city and giving access to the parks and walking trails
on the lake’s Festival Island, this ensemble of three separate cultural institutions creates external
courtyards where pedestrian routes intersect for outdoor events and sculpture exhibitions.

• The largest and most versatile cultural centre in Hunan province, the Culture & Arts Centre connects
directly with its station on Line 2 of Changsha’s new Metro System.

• Located on historic trade routes through China, the city of Changsha’s traditions as an important centre of
communications continues as one of the country’s leading media hubs with the centre’s Grand Theatre
hosting a popular programme of performances and television productions.

(2) CHANGSHA MEIXIHU INTERNATIONAL CULTURE ART CENTRE
TECHNICAL STUDY
• For convenient accessibilty, the center is directly connected to Changsha city's new Metro system.
• Pedestrian routes weave through the site to connect with neighbouring streets and parks.
• Also built two pedestrian bridges to provide access to the Festival Island, a linear islet located in
the Miexi Lake.
• For the center to be active all time, three civic institutions keep vitality by different opening times;
the theatre opens as the museum concludes it's day-time operations, whilst events in smaller
multipurpose venue ensures it will be used at all times.

ASTHETIC STUDY

• Composition of dramatic curves expressing the artistic flowing of contemporary arts, and the
buildings themselves flow into the urban area fitting in with grace.
• - The exterior of each building of the center features the studio's signature white, fluid facades,
punctured by curving panes of glass.
• - The grand theatre acting as the focal point of plan, all three buildings are linked by sinuous
passageways and white planes, having wings and petals.
• - Strata(layers) of skylights and large openings along with the elevated walkways are main aesthetic
of the interior spaces.

• Although these civic institutions are uniquely

defined and separate, they supply each other in all
respects within its setting with plazas offering
visitors a tapestrylike sequence of urban
ambiances that relate to the different institutions,
inject the site with urban vitality.

• The working hours of the different venues also

overlap to ensure continuity during the full 24
hour cycle; Operated during the evening, the
Grand Theatre becomes active as the Museum
begins to conclude its daytime operations whilst
the Small theatre and retail/restaurants would be
commercially available day and night. In this
regard, they benefit from each other’s vicinity,
ensuring that the site is lively 24 hours a day.

(PENCELL ANIMATION STUDIO)

• Pancell studio is one of the pioneer animation studios which currently start to gain their position in
local field.

• It was established by a group of passionate youths in 2017. The studio was founded by Nyan Kyal Say
(son of cartoonist Aw Pi Kyal) and "Nobel Aung".

• As a well-known animation studio, they've done a large mount of projects such as movie trailers,
advertisements, and even music videos.

• Their famous piece is Sai Sai Kham Leng's "My Girlfriend is better than yours" music video.

• Big Bag's “Remember you" was their big hit music video too.

• It was chosen to be featured in international film festivals and won Best Music Film Award in
"Ringerike International Youth Film Festival".

• Since their success and influence grows bigger, the career of animation and digital artists has been
seen essential needed by the trend. So they not only do the commercial projects but also open
educational classes.

Functional Study

• Even if Pencell Studio is the leading studio in local market, their office is
still a residential apartment.
• It exists in the second floor of the building. Before entering the door,
there is a space used as foyer, keeping shoes on shelf. LIVING ROOM
• Right after entering into the office, what awaits is the living room where PRE-PDRODUCTION ROOM
they meet and discuss with the clients.
• They have three working rooms for studio works: pre- PRODUCTION ROOM
production,production and post-production rooms. POST-PRODUCTION ROOM
• In pre-production room, they first seek ideas about their concepts,
characters, and theme by drawings. BATHROOM
• In production room, the animation work starts.
• Post-production room is where they finalize the rough animations into a MEETING ROOM
quality one which is ready to be produced to public.
KITCHEN
• Other than these rooms , they also have a meeting room and a storage
space which would be turned into a mini-theatre soon. SOUND ROOM(IN FUTURE)
• They still lack a room for sound production so their animations can't
provide sound systems up until now. APARTMENT FLOOR PLAN

ANALYSIS

• Even though the animation and concept art is a potential business, it's not growing country widely yet.
• This may be the reason they couldn't work in an office building. Anyhow, they managed to develop their workspace into a friendly environment.
• There is no proper design or furnishing except their workspace furnitures.
• But they keep it clean and smart amidst the limits of apartment's layout and their budget.
• It would be better if they can develop into an office building and have specific rooms for each particular function and role of person.
