City Convention-Performance Centre, Hai Phong City

A new cultural landmark driving city growth

The new City Convention-Performance Centre, located within the Municipal Government complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam, is set to become a vibrant and modern urban hub.

Invested by the Management board for urban development and civil works investment of Hai Phong this project aligns with the government’s resolution to relocate the city’s political-administrative centre to the new urban area in the North of Cam River by 2025.

Covering a total floor area of 49,500m² on a land plot of 12ha, the building stands 35m tall with three storeys and one basement level. Its undulating roof was inspired by the ripples of waves radiating away from the centre of a drop falling on a water surface, which perfectly harmonises with the architectural landscape of the new urban area in the North of Cam River.

Arup, in collaboration with gmp International Architects, provided structural, MEP and fire system design services to bring this unique building to life.
