Kunming, capital of Yun Nan province, is one of the famous tourist destinations in China. From May to October 1999, Kuming hosted the International Horticultural Exposition. Art Square is located at the central part of the exposition site. It provides a low lying auditorium space, which can accomodate almost 3000 people, and a stage with an area of about 600 m 2 . Unfortunately, performances were frequently cancelled due to rain in the 3 month rainy season. It was therefore decided to construct a series of canopies over the Square. The nex membrane structure was completed in April 2001.
