Qujiang Creative Cultural Centre

8,000 pieces of bronze metal flutes, finely honed and detailed using local craftmanship, form a 13m long metallic draping veil in the centre of the space

Designed by award-winning international architects The Oval Partnership, the Qujiang Creative Circle opened its doors in late 2018 and is being hailed as Xi’an’s first-of-its-kind creative cultural complex. The long-awaited subterranean cultural venue, which is destined to become the heart of the city’s civic district, officially opened to the public in July, 2019. The design of the Qujiang Creative Cultural Centre responds to its local context, incorporating elements and materials that evoke a modern re-interpretation of Chinese architectural repertoires and traditions characteristic of the Xi’an region. This design vocabulary is seamlessly embodied throughout the development, spanning all scales—from city level down to the smallest of details.

A Subterranean Gem
The Creative Cultural Centre is slotted beneath the central plaza of Qujiang Creative Circle as a strategic component of the integrated masterplan. A sympathetically placed pavilion rises above ground and serves as the primary entrance to the Cultural Centre, standing prominently as a pavilion opens into an elevated vestibule which functions as the primary public arena serving the main theatre and performance space. It also provides a multi-functional space for creative events and exhibitions.
