The building has been built to host exhibitions, performances, conferences, and community events.<\/p>\n<p>The design draws inspiration from Cantonese Opera and traditional Lingnan architecture, while also demonstrating how complex cultural buildings can incorporate modern construction techniques and environmental considerations.<\/p>\n<h3>Prefabrication and fa\u00e7ade design support construction efficiency<\/h3>\n<p>The project uses prefabricated ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) cladding manufactured in reusable moulds, helping to reduce construction time, CO\u2082 emissions, and waste during construction, say ZHA.<\/p>\n<p>The building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade and roof design were created with Dongguan\u2019s humid subtropical climate in mind, as an extended roof overhangs and protects the building and surrounding outdoor spaces while still maintaining natural daylight levels throughout the interior.<\/p>\n<p>Other features include prefabricated aluminium soffits and roof panels with a finish designed to minimise heat gain from the sun, and interiors using aluminium and glass-reinforced gypsum to support low-maintenance operation and reduce embodied carbon.<\/p>\n<h3>Acoustic engineering creates a consistent performance environment<\/h3>\n<p>The centre\u2019s Grand Theatre required specialist acoustic design to ensure sound quality throughout the auditorium. Its walls and ceiling incorporate around 100,000 slender spines, which help diffuse sound, control reverberation and disperse standing soundwaves.<\/p>\n<p>The varying length, density and tone of these elements also form part of the theatre\u2019s internal aesthetic, combining acoustic performance with visual design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/16-9m-rebuild-bath-fire-station-set-transform-net-zero-buildings\/163533\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sustainability<\/a> measures were also incorporated throughout the completed development, including photovoltaic arrays installed on the roof and rainwater harvesting systems designed to generate renewable energy and reduce water consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The centre also features intelligent HVAC building management systems to support operational efficiency. Externally, permeable surfaces and replanted wetlands help mitigate flood risk and enhance biodiversity around the waterfront site.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found <a
