• Dachang County is a Muslim enclave near Beijing. To revive the Islamic culture and
improve the quality of culture life, the local government developed Da Chang
Muslim Cultural Center, a cultural complex integrating the functions of theatre,
exhibition, convention and community center.
• Located in Dachang Hui Autonomous County, Langfang, Hebei province, the
project is supposed by the local government to be an iconic design, introducing
Dachang’s particular culture and enhancing the soft power of the city.
• The national palace is thus endowed with multiple functions, serving not only as
the recreation center of the city, but the essential cultural site for the introduction
of local religion and history as well.
• It has undoubtedly brought lots of challenges to the designer, because of the
special ethnic composition, historical context, religious belief, complex functional
requirements of the site and the setting of a cultural landmark.

• Its central location in Winschoten makes it easily accessible to the
residents who can enjoy the cultural offerings of the theatre, arts centre,
radio studio and library, or savour a coffee in the theatre café. In this
way, residents themselves actively contribute to their city’s cultural life.
•
The striking carved exterior of the centre is designed without front or back
facades in order to better engage its surroundings on all sides. This also
maximises and accentuates its footprint on the site, while the gentle
angles of the continuous facade play with the laws of perspective and
shorten visual distances.
• The horizontal sections, curved edges and overhangs recall 1920s
Expressionist architecture in Groningen. The building anchors itself
in Winschoten by echoing the morphology of its surroundings. It functions
as a juncture between the small-scale buildings of the historic inner city
and the larger scale of post-war developments and renovations.
