Designed by Andrew Bromberg at Aedas, Chengdu City Music Hall was awarded a Merit under the Un-built/Other category at 2016 AIA Hong Kong Honors & Awards.

Located in the Wuhou district in Chengdu, China, Chengdu City Music Hall symbolises timelessness of nature, culture and heritage, housing the finest world-class cultural venues, art exhibition halls, and educational facilities as a city landmark. Inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting Shan Shui, literally mountain and river, the project formalises this language through its roof topography ‘mountains’ and erosion along the lower pedestrian levels ‘river’. It leads people to nature with its roofscape which recaptures the blurred mountain contours in the mist in the traditional paintings.

The annual AIA awards programme recognises excellence in architectural design of projects undertaken by its members in Hong Kong, China and Asia pacific.
