Shanghai Grand Theatre

This is the Shanghai Grand Theatre, one of the relatively more imagnative modern buildings I saw in Shanghai. I like it for the attempt to abstract traditional Chinese architecture. The reference wasn't too obvious but the result was modernity with a touch of Chineseness , avoiding the overt usage of "traditional" building elements.It was closed to the public so I didn't get a chance to go inside. It doesn't look to exciting though. And the roof-floating-over-box form did remind of the new Supreme Court in Singapore, except that it didn't induce any fear of an extraterrestrial invasion.
