Description - Chongqing Grand Theater in China by Meinhard von Gerkan
The Grand Theater is not a building with a typical façade with wall and window surfaces, but is contained within a well-positioned curtain of frosted glass panels. The magazine Baumeister comments: "The light penetrating from the inside to the outside, as well as the reflection of sun, clouds, and water on the multi-layered and staggered glass surfaces, present the building in ever-changing, mystical lighting moods." In this volume, the architects responsible present the design by means of texts, images, and plans, and there is an essay by the architecture journalist Dirk Meyhofer in which he discusses the Grand Theater.
