Theatre Hall interior with view towards stage. LAC Lugano Art Centre, Lugano, Switzerland. Architect: Ivano Gianola Studio d'arc

The new Cultural and Art Centre of Lugano is located directly on the shore of Lake Lugano. The spacious and spatially differentiated new building is an architectonic hybrid that combines a museum for contemporary art, a convention centre, various restaurants and cafes as well as a theatre under one roofscape. The theatre is not only equipped as an optimal venue for operas and theatrical performances, but can also be used as a concert hall or convention auditorium. Moreover the urban configuration of the new complex functions as a most convincing contemporary gateway to the largest city in Ticino. The LAC is also home to the newly-created Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana, formed by the merging between the Museo Cantonale d’Arte and the Museo d’Arte della Lugano.
