Kunshan Xibang Village Kun Opera School

Location Kunshan, Jiangsu Province
Floor Area 2,868m2
Design Time 2014
Completion Time 2016

The school is located in Xibang Village, the birthplace of traditional Kun Opera. The design was initiated by tracing back the Kun Opera’s history, and carried out through “micro-intervention”. Through reconstruction of collapsed plantations, the context of the village was repaired by the school, invigorating the village through cultural promotion. With a stage anchoring the river and a two-story corridor, it has become a school with diversified spaces.
