The Esplanande designed by DP Architects Pte Ltd and Michael Wilford & Partners. In February 2001, the superstructure was completed and Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay opened her doors to the world on October 12, 2002. Press releases say that the Esplanade design expresses harmony with nature, reflecting the balance of yin and yang. Vikas M. Gore, a director at DP Architects, calls the Esplanade "a compelling contribution towards defining a new Asian architecture." Gore believes that the curved lines, translucent surfaces, and ambiguous shapes of the Lyric Theatre and the Concert Hall reflect the complexity and dynamism of Asian attitudes and thoughts. "People may find them disturbing, but only because the result is indeed new and unusual," Gore says.
