经过四年建设，位于南宁的广西文化艺术中心正式竣工并投入使用。广西文化艺术中心是gmp·冯·格康，玛格及合伙人建筑师事务所继天津、青岛和重庆大剧院后在中国设计完成的第四座大剧院建筑。文化艺术中心内可举行多元丰富的文娱活动，为南宁市提供高品质的文化场所。
The Guangxi Culture & Art Center in the Nanning metropolis in southern China has been ceremonially opened. Following the completion of similar projects in Tianjin, Chongqing und Qingdao, this is the fourth grand theater to be completed by von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) in China. Nanning, the capital of Guangxi province, now has the benefit of this type of venue which, with its wide-ranging cultural events program, is very popular in China and thus adds to the city’s attractiveness. Following the completion of Nanning’s trade exhibition and conference center, this is gmp’s second building for the city that adds its distinct appearance to the city’s skyline.

广西文化艺术中心的落成为南宁提供了一个崭新的举办音乐文化活动的公共设施，未来这里将上演歌剧、古典交响音乐会、芭蕾、联欢会以各种多媒体演出，大剧院丰富的多样性将得以充分展现。大剧院以诗意的方式建构了文化艺术中心与广西壮族自治区典型风光喀斯特地貌之间的联系。同时作为gmp在南宁完成的第二座大型公共建筑，文化艺术中心与南宁国际会展中心一同刻画了南宁市令人难忘的城市天际线。
The Guangxi Culture & Art Center in Nanning has opened its doors. It is a grand theater of the kind that is very popular in China and serves as a venue for a wide range of musical and cultural programs: in addition to classical works in the European tradition of operas, events include concerts, musicals, and gala shows.

Three concert halls have been arranged as separate volumes on a natural stone-clad plinth building that accommodates the service functions. The opera house to the south-west with its 1,600 seats and a 600 square-meter stage opens out to a newly created lake. Following the tradition of classical opera houses, the seating has been laid out in the shape of a horseshoe. The stalls and balconies are reached via a foyer and an arrangement of stairs. Softly curved wood-paneled surfaces create a warm interior atmosphere, and the reverberation time of 1.5 to 1.8 seconds provides ideal acoustic conditions.

音乐厅位于东侧，平面设计为长六角形，约有1200个坐席。室内设计构思根据流动的音乐韵律而演绎：墙面板如同起伏的缎带，有韵律的过度到吊顶造型。音乐厅内配有64音栓管风琴，实现了从室内乐到大型交响乐丰富宽广的曲目演绎空间。多功能厅位于北侧，规模较小，拥有550个席位。电子声控设备可以调整设置不同的混响时间。可升降舞台可满足不同剧目的舞台设计需求，无论是音乐剧、芭蕾舞剧、话剧甚至时装表演均不受限制。
The concert hall with its 1,200 seats is located on the eastern side and has been designed as an oblong hexagon with a rounded stage area. It features an organ with 64 registers and is therefore suitable for a wide repertoire of musical performances ranging from chamber music to symphony concerts by composers like Bruckner. Wide wooden stripes on walls and ceilings provide a certain rhythmic order to the visual appearance. The smallest hall, with 550 seats, is a multi-functional hall and is located to the north. Its electronically controlled acoustics ensure that the reverberation time can be adjusted with infinite variability. Different stage scenarios for music, ballet, and theater performances as well as fashion shows can be created with the help of lift platforms.

一座出挑的屋面将三座建筑单体覆盖于其下。云朵般的屋顶和“山脉”，通过抽象的条纹方式拆解，被一个拱形结构分别承载。带有精细折叠结构的白色薄铝板包裹着这些承载元素的可见部分。当人们从剧院对面的大桥上驶向大剧院将会感受到建筑轮廓的俊逸优美，广西文化艺术中心令人难忘的形式和高规格演出条件令其成为南宁乃至广西重要的文化名片。

The three venue buildings are unified by a shared, seemingly floating roof. Similar to the facades, it appears as a large structure of louvers, which has been constructed with a steel frame substructure and white folded aluminum panels as cladding. When viewed from the opposite bank of the River Yong or from the approach via Nanning Bridge, the radiant white shape of this outstanding culture center of Nanning and the Guangxi province appears confidently in contrast to its surroundings. Depending on the viewpoint, the silhouette of the building changes dynamically, evoking associations with the natural karst formations that are so typical of the Guangxi landscape.
