.
It is a Shanghai city card with the title of “representative works of contemporary Chinese architectural art”
.
Today, let’s walk into this “multi head title” building and feel its unique artistic atmosphere ↓ the building itself contains Chinese elements
.
Shanghai Grand Theater covers an area of 2.1 hectares
.
The building structure is frame shear wall and spatial steel truss structure
.
The building is 40m high, with 6 floors above the ground, 2 floors on the top floor and 2 floors underground
.
It has a total construction area of 64000 square meters and a total height of 40m
.
It is equipped with three large, medium and small theaters
.
The whole building adopts the most advanced automatic mechanical stage in the world, with Ballet Rehearsal Hall, band rehearsal hall and VIP Hall
.
A + art space includes complete ancillary facilities such as central stage and art store
.
The first pile was officially laid on October 1, 1994 and the ground was officially broken on July 17, 1995
.
The Grand Theater requires high precision and difficult construction
.
It can be said that it is not only the palace of art, but also the crystallization of high technology
.
After more than 1000 days and nights of hard work by construction personnel, the art hall was completed, and its magnificent image also added an artistic charm to the people’s Square
.
The shape of the Shanghai Grand Theater is designed according to the shape of the pavilion, a Chinese classical building
.
The roof adopts a white arc with both sides tilted and the sky embracing, which means “a round sky and a place”, and also symbolizes the “cornucopia” of brilliant culture
.
From a distance, the top of the Shanghai Grand Theater looks like a huge tile carved of white jade, which is covered on the transparent and crystal building cube, which is very eye-catching
.
During the day, the appearance of the building is reflected by transparent horizontal walls, rhythmic vertical lines and musical curved roofs; At night, the theater, which is interwoven with light and water, glitters with thousands of light faces under the light
.
It is resplendent and exquisite
.
It is integrated with the scenery of the surrounding people’s Square
.
In March 2013, the first overhaul in 15 years since its opening was carried out, and the upgraded Grand Theater completed the following projects
.
# The comprehensive renewal of the stage system of the Grand Theater is not only directly related to the presentation of the performance art level, but also the top priority of the major modification and construction project
.
In the project, the central controller, the “heart” part of the automatic stage control system of the Grand Theater, has been changed from the previous single machine integrated control to dual machine network control; The number of suspenders has increased from 54 to 58, and the moving speed of suspenders has been further improved
.
It is more convenient for scene changing and stage presentation, and also brings better performance results to the audience
.
At the same time, several silent air heaters are installed on the side platforms on both sides of the stage to ensure the performance requirements in winter
.
# The internal system adheres to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection
.
The “new” Grand Theater attaches particular importance to the concept of “energy conservation and emission reduction, environmental protection and low consumption”, and eliminates the equipment and appliances with high energy consumption
.
Taking the eighth floor as an example, the glass roof here is newly covered with energy-saving and environmental protection insulation materials, coupled with LED floodlights, which not only maintains the unique feature of “looking at the stars” at night, It also greatly reduces the energy consumption of air conditioning and receives a significant energy-saving effect
.
# Expand public space The upgraded Grand Theater pays more attention to creating an integrated space for citizens’ audience to combine artistic experience with cultural leisure
.
The renovation will also connect the theater lobby with the first floor, set up two stairs, expand the audience’s activity area during the middle of the performance and enrich the performance experience
.
# After major overhaul, the three major sections of art education of Shanghai Grand Theater, “art classroom”, “entering the Grand Theater” and “literary and artistic model” have all settled in the central theater, where elegant art has become more close to the people
.
The layout of audience seats has undergone fundamental changes
.
The original three floors have been transformed into two floors
.
The slope type audience seats are more in line with the natural vision of the audience to enjoy the program
.
The main tone has changed from wood grain yellow to Dark Walnut
.
Construction punch point # Big coffee room The green room is a new design defined by the prototype of the backstage actor dressing room, creating a comfortable and quiet ecological space like the dressing room, which is the advocacy of a new way of cultural life in the theater
.
