National Taichung Theater
Toyo Ito’s curved performing-arts building stands out among Taichung’s straight-lined towers. You can appreciate its form even without attending a show.
Why go
The theater holds several performance spaces, a public plaza and rooftop garden. Its sweeping interior surfaces are the reason architecture-minded visitors stop here, while a ticketed performance adds a separate purpose. Looking from the plaza into the building helps make sense of its unusual curves.
