The building was built in 2016 by the OMA and used as a gallery and theatre. The building is divided into two forms, a cylinder that contains gathering spaces and a nonlinear cube of rooms. The black box theatre is where the two forms connected, the two halves of the space can be used separately or combined for a variety of uses. The back of the theatre covered by windows to make the city becomes the backdrop and the eccentric windows along the curved wall poured fascinating light and shadows into the building. These created an unique space for performances, echoing with its form in imitating a performer in motion.
