Bio Bio Regional Theater by Smiljan Radic | 2018-04-05 | Architectural Record

Smiljan Radic may be best known for his 2014 Serpentine Pavilion in London, which resembled a seedpod resting on a group of flattened boulders. That left an impression of Radic, a RECORD Design Vanguard honoree in 2008, as a creator of primitive sculptural forms. But his latest building, a theater in Concepción, Chile, some 300 miles south of Santiago, explores a very different idiom, with a gridded concrete structure supporting a nearly rectilinear shell.
