In November 2015, President Xi Jinping paid an official state visit to Singapore. The two countries established an “All- Round Cooperative Partnership”. During the historic visit, President Xi Jinping and Emeritus Senior Minister of Singapore Mr. Goh Chok Tong jointly inaugurated the China Cultural Centre, unveiling a new chapter of China- Singapore relations.

Standing tall and upright, China Cultural Centre is located in Singapore’s Arts and Heritage District and is close to numerous cultural institutions such as Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, National Library and Singapore Art Museum. Designed by Dr. Liu Thai Ker, hailed as Singapor e’s “Father of Urban Planning”, the Centre is a perfect modern interpretation to the colour, proportion and elements of traditional Chinese architecture.

China Cultural Centre comprises of the Podium Builidng, Tower, glass-panelled elevator, corridor and main ceiling. The overall architecture symbolises a theatre stage of a city’s art and culture and its style is a modern interpretation to the colour, proportion and elements of traditional Chinese architecture.

      The facade wall of the Centre is made of solemn grey granite accompanied by off-white texture with Chinese elements; the glass-panelled elevator, open corridor and lights on the bucket arch are not only the highlight of the whole Centre’s design, but also embody the extensiveness and modernity of Chinese architecture; the compact layout is also complemented by four sight terraces themed accordingly as “leisure”, “vibrancy”, “gathering” and “appreciation” as with traditional Chinese parks. The Centre occupies an area of 1352.6 m and has an area of structure of 8,900 m with ten floors.
