Chapel of Music in Beidaihe
Vector architects 


Located at the plaza known as Youyi Bay, in Beidahe, this building sculpted in concrete was designed from the section. The Meditation Rotunda on the lower level was arranged vertically and rises 9 meters, while the Skylight Music Hall on top of it is crowned with a large retractable circular pneumatic roof. The latter’s sunken stage appears like a suspended disc when viewed from the former. The chapel presents three curving facades that respond to the surroundings. The entrance lobby, located on the raised first floor, is reached via a long ramp which is slightly offset and stretches parallel to the curved east wall.
