In 2020, PES-Architects won the competition to design the Nanchang Poly Culture and Art Center in South New City, China, near Jiulong Lake. The project is designed as a landmark cultural hub and a "local cultural living room" that offers diverse performances, including opera, theater, and music. Developed with local firms BIAD and ZNF, the center reflects PES-Architects' vision of creating functional, aesthetic, and timeless performing arts spaces by integrating natural and vernacular materials.
