Timber clad modular acoustic baffles in Theatre Hall. LAC Lugano Art Centre, Lugano, Switzerland. Architect: Ivano Gianola Studi

---

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.
