History

In 2009, the Executive Yuan recognized the need to establish a music center in Kaohsiung. The Council for Cultural Affairs then commissioned Kaohsiung City Government to plan, design, and construct the center.[1] The center was officially opened on 31 October 2021 in a ceremony attended by President Tsai Ing-wen and Culture Minister Lee Yung-te.[2][3]

Architecture

The center was designed by Spanish architecture firm MADE IN.[4][5] The center consists of the Wave Tower, Coral Zone, Whale Bridge, Dolphin Walk, and Live Warehouse, which span over an area of 11 hectares (27 acres).[6]
