會館中心像飛碟，能從不同角度和空間展示不同的形象．白天它像＂時空穿梭機＂或＂藝術(shù)之海貝＂；晚上它成了漂浮的城市．整個建筑在西北部盧浦大橋輻射下布局更具廣闊，柔和的建筑風格與濱水綠地整合，與會展會演廣場相吻，東西相應，并與歐洲館，會展中心，南部的中國館會聚．
The Expo Shanghai Performance Center resembled a flying saucer and would be displayed in different patterns from different perspectives and spaces. During day time, it would look like a "spatial and temporal shuttle" or a "shell of the sea of arts"; during night time, it would become "a floating city". The building was designed with intensive layout by using the Lupu Bridge located in northwestern area as background. The soft architectural patter was integrated in the waterfront greenery land, combined with the Expo Celebration Square, connected and coordinated with the Celebration Square for indoor and outdoor interaction, and corresponded to the western Expo Axis and Expo Center and the southern China Pavilion.
