Tang Fei, a Chinese blogger, artist and architect graduated from The University of Applied Arts Vienna 2011, experimented a new form production at the Excessive Studio II, Urban Strategies, to design an Opera Theater or a Concert Hall in the Karmeliter market. Somehow, there is an organic-looking madness here, in a form that houses an opera theater, a concert hall, and a panoramic restaurant in a high-density, low-green residential district. The form brings the sensory experience of nature to the site on a grand scale. More details about the project comes after the jump.

The form it tends to take is much like a lotus blooming under a mild and white winter sun. This theater seeks to rekindle the romance between Vienna and opera which first sparked in the mid-19th century with the existence of the Vienna State Opera.

Rather than the flourishing exterior, the inside of the Opera Theater reveals wood-clad cavities where every seat in the house is different. Not only will the building have little havens of picturesque hanging gardens, but the architecture of the entire structure is organic – bringing the sensory experience of nature to the site on a grand scale.
