The Dachang Hui Autonomous County is a Muslim enclave just outside of Beijing. To invigorate the local Islamic culture and improve the quality of cultural life, the local government planned and developed the Dachang Muslim Cultural Center, a modern cultural complex that integrates the functions of a theatre, an exhibition space, convention hall and community center.
It serves not only as a recreational center for the city, but it will also be an important cultural site for learning about the local religion and history. In addition to the many functions of the space, this ambitious project undoubtedly has posed many challenges to the design team, because of the area’s special ethnic composition, history, and religious beliefs.
