Taipei Performing Arts Center \u2013 Different From Other Contemporary Structures<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commissioned by the Taipei City Government (Taipei City is the capital of Taiwan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in 2009, and after more than a decade of construction, the 635,000 sq ft Taipei Performing Arts Center (an instantaneous cultural landmark which is home to three protruding auditoriums) has been completed. It is officially slated to open in August. The 2000 Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Rem Koolhaas led the design team alongside OMA managing partner David Gianotten.\u00a0 They wanted the building to stand out from contemporary theaters being built in major cities around the world\u2014and it appears that they succeeded. (As of 2019, the city of Taipei is home to an estimated population of 2,646,204.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
