The Dalian International Conference Centre in Northeast China is a gorgeous steel and concrete structure designed by Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au. Construction began on this unique, undulating building back in 2008 and was recently finished. Its futuristic facade and cavernous rooms bring a ton of character to the busy coastal city of Dalian.

The main section of the conference centre boasts a 1600-seat theatre and concert venue. The largest meeting room can hold up to 2,500 people, but can be easily adapted into a banquet hall, art gallery, or additional seating for the concert hall.

Here's Coop Himmelb(l)au on the project:
The building has both to reflect the promising modern future of Dalian and its tradition as an important port, trade, industry and tourism city. The formal language of the project combines and merges the rational structure and organization of its modern conference centre typology with the floating spaces of modernist architecture.
