Steven Chilton Architects has designed the Sunac Guangzhou Grand Theatre in China to reflect the city's historical connection to silk. It is also imprinted with patterns that represent Guangzhou's current tattoo culture.Â
The building will host performances from visiting production companies and forms part of a group of entertainment venues being built in the city's Huadu District.

Giles B agreed: "This is brimming with originality in its shape and silky skin and the kitsch colour scheme contrasts wonderfully with the grey surrounding buildings. Wonderful work."
