Future Shanghai - Art Center by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio

Images have emerged of a new arts and culture centre by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio, which forms part of a new financial quarter the two firms are building on Shanghai's waterfront.
The Fosun Foundation is the centrepiece of the Bund Finance Center, a new mixed-use complex designed by Norman Foster's architecture firm and Thomas Heatherwick's design studio for the end of famous Shanghai street The Bund.
The 190,000-square-metre development is still under construction, but these new images by photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu show that the new cultural centre is now complete.
Inspired by traditional Chinese theatres, the three-storey building features a curtain-like facade of bronze tubes. These tubes hang in three layers, creating semi-transparent screens in front of windows and balconies.
When the design was first announced, the architects described this facade as "a moving veil, which adapts to the changing use of the building, and reveals the stage on the balcony and views towards Pudong".

I observed the installation of a sculpture's 77 foot tall compound spherical stainless steel pendulum with a six foot dish swinging an inch over a silent marble water feature in the 90's and was the computer programmer for the changing pattern of directions for a few years afterwards. However, this moving sculpture is SO over the top it makes me want to move and apply for a maintenance position caring for its operation. WELL DONE.
