An “The stage at the water’s edge” concept generates the unique geometry of the Performing Arts Center, which contains a 1200-seat opera house, a 750-seat concert hall, a 600-seat television studio, a 200-seat auditorium and a 120-seat auditorium. The site of the Performing Arts Center is adjacent to the Yuhangtang River that runs through the entire campus, which provides a unique soil for this concept. In Canal Towns in the South of the Yangtze, the local people utilized the terrain by the water to build a stage for performing arts. The square in front of the stage, the bridge next to it, and the boats by the river are full of people watching. Such a venue often
becomes a Local traditional entertainment and cultural centre. We introduced river water into the site and divided it into two areas, forming a place for watching and performing outdoors. Our tribute to the traditional local life and
adoption of a modern expression make the whole site and surrounding area a centre of vitality.

 
“水畔戏台”的概念产生了表演艺术中心独特的几何形状，其中包括一个1200 座的歌剧院、一个750 座的音乐厅、一个600 座的电视演播室、一个200 座的礼堂和一个120 座的礼堂。 演艺中心的场地毗邻穿过整个校区的余杭塘河，这为本概念提供了得天独厚的土壤。江南水乡水岔横支，当地人习惯利用水边的地形构筑戏台，在戏台前的广场上、旁边的桥上，以及河边的船上都站满了人观看，这样的一个场地往往就成为了当地传统的娱乐文化中心。 我们将河水引入场地，并天然的将其分成两个区域，在室外形成了一观一演的场所。我们这种对于传统生活的一种致敬，并采用现代化的表达方式，试图让整个场地和周边地区变成活力的中心。
