The Invitation
The Taipei City Government cordially invites all outstanding international design teams, to make a world-class performance venue, suited for Taipei’s performing arts activities. The site of the arts center is located next to TRTS Jiantan Station and Cheng De Road, Shilin District. The project consists of three theaters, including a 1,500-seat Grand Theater and two 800-seat Theaters. This performance venue shall provide interactive facilities for avid fans of the performing arts coupled with the appropriate educational functions to enhance the artistic cultural quality of the Greater Taipei area. Through an international competition, we hope to create a more diversified and open environment for artistic creativity in the leading city of Taiwan-Taipei. The center will establish connections to other world-class theaters and attract the international performing community to Taiwan, creating a theater that will lead the way for 21st century theaters.
