There’s a clear elegance to the uplifted, airy design of the Anji Culture and Art Center, located outside of Shanghai in southeast China. With six different venues within it, including a theater, sports center, and art education center, it was designed by MAD Architects, and will surely be a landmark venue for its features, and its design.

We love the sculptural form of the building, which welcomes visitors with undulating shapes and warm, recessed lighting. Walkable grass roofs, and a spacious landscaped surrounding, including reflecting pool, make this a nature-inspired destination.

Via MyModernMet:

‘The sculptural design is enhanced by the overlapping metal roofs that are intended to resemble scattered bamboo leaves. The gaps between them allow dappled light to illuminate the interior, while the main facade’s self-supporting glass wall provides a second source of natural light.’
