Tianjin Juilliard School was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the same firm that expanded Juilliard's iconic New York home at Lincoln Center twelve years ago. A short film takes viewers inside the new building that welcomed its first students last fall.

Tianjin Juilliard School is located in Tianjin’s new Binhai district and can be reached from downtown Beijing in just 45 minutes by high-speed train. The 350,000-square-foot (32,510-m2) building is articulated as four faceted pavilions that contain a 690-seat concert hall, a 299-seat recital hall, a 225-seat black box theater, and administrative, faculty, and rehearsal spaces. The pavilions are linked by a handful of glazed bridges — also containing contain classrooms, teaching studios, and practice rooms — that span an expansive lobby. With their sizable steel trusses expressed inside and out, the bridges give Juilliard's home in China a strong visual identity.
