Under construction since the end of 2009 and with an area of 34,067 square meters, the building for the National Taichung Theater is organized as a three-dimensional space with a neuronal form that evokes a network of natural caves and in which three spaces for events are inserted: the ‘Grand Theater,’ with 2014 seats; the ‘Playhouse,’ with 800; and the Black Box, with 200 seats. Aside from complying with the necessary standards for traditional performances, the building tries to function as a continuous space that blurs the boundaries between spectators and artists, the spaces for representation and connection, the interior space and the adjacent urban fabric.
