The Design

About Tension Instrument Neuadd Gyngerdd

Mae'r prosiect yn seiliedig ar astudiaeth o bensaernïaeth a cherddoriaeth. Mae'r dyluniad yn canolbwyntio ar sut i gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o gerddoriaeth anniriaethol a'i chyflwyno mewn gofod pensaernïol diriaethol. Mae'r dyluniad yn y pen draw yn cyfuno'r ddau trwy "tensiwn", grym sy'n gyffredin mewn pensaernïaeth a cherddoriaeth. Mae'r neuadd gyngerdd yn gerddorfa o waliau, balconïau, a phaneli acwstig, sy'n cael eu datblygu o brototeip pensaernïol unigryw gan wahanol raddfeydd a thectoneg. Mae cyferbyniad dramatig yr hen a'r newydd yn creu tirnod diwylliannol newydd i Prague.

The Recognition

About the Gwobr Aur A' Design Award

Mae Tension Instrument Neuadd Gyngerdd yn enillydd Gwobr Aur A' Design Award, cydnabyddiaeth aruthrol o fawreddog a roddir i ddyluniadau o'r radd flaenaf, rhyfeddol a rhagorol. Mae enillwyr Aur yn greadigaethau hynod arloesol, gweledigaethol a disglair o ysblennydd sydd yn adlewyrchu athrylith, doethineb a medrusrwydd eu dylunwyr. Disgwylir i Tension Instrument Neuadd Gyngerdd fod yn ddyfais hynod glodfawr, arloesol a chofadwy sydd yn cyflwyno gwerth digynsail. Mae'r dyluniad buddugol hwn o Wobr Aur A' Design Award yn brosiect ysblennydd a pharchus sydd yn elwa yn fawr ac yn symud ymlaen ffiniau celf, gwyddoniaeth, dylunio a thechnoleg.

Unique Properties: The concert hall is an orchestration of walls, balconies, and acoustic panels, which are developed from a unique architectural prototype by different scales and tectonics.

The site finds itself nested at the junction of historical and modern districts. Thus, the elements are carefully placed in the site with respect to programs, circulations, and urban landscape. The dramatic contrast of old and new creates a new cultural landmark for Prague.
Dimensions & Packaging: 100m x 65m x 50m
Tags: Contemporary Architecture, Technical architecture, Architecture Tectonic, Concert Hall, Exhibition, Culture, Concept
Production Technology: Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), Concrete, Steel
Design Challenge: Architectural tectonic and technology has become the biggest challenge. Cantilevered curved walls were achieved in the combination of the steel and cross-laminated timber.
Research: The project is based on the study of architecture and music. The design focuses on how to take the inspiration from the intangible music and present it in the tangible architectural space. The design ultimately combines the two through "tension", a force that is prevalent in both architecture and music.
Inspiration: Tension is a material property that creates both music and architecture. Inspired by Dvorak’s New World Symphony, the prototype originates from a piece of wood bent by a string in tension. The concert hall is an orchestration of walls, balconies, and acoustic panels, which are developed from the prototype by different scales and tectonics.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 in Těšnov, Prague
Operation Flow: The site finds itself nested at the junction of historical and modern districts. Thus, the architectural space were carefully planned and placed in the site with respect to programs, circulations, and urban landscape. The dramatic contrast of old and new creates a new cultural landmark for Prague.
