Architecture: Taichung Metropolitan Opera House by Zaha Hadid Architects, Taichung, Taiwan © Zaha Hadid Architects |
This is one of the older projects from Zaha Hadid Architects, but we will bring it up simply because of its power and ability to attract attention. It was a competition entry for Taichung Metropolitan Opera House in Taiwan. Intense curved lines followed with the unusual black color managed to make this piece of modern architecture different from everything around.
This eye-catching project with total of 3000 seats was imagined to be built on two plots, passing above the street which would make it even more dominant in the area. Unfortunately this entry was rejected while Toyo Ito & Associates were chosen with their wining project. Construction is progressing and the new opera house is set to open in 2013.
