The Design

About Tension Instrument Sala De Conciertos

El proyecto se basa en el estudio de la arquitectura y la música. El diseño se centra en cómo inspirarse en la música intangible y presentarla en un espacio arquitectónico tangible. En última instancia, el diseño combina los dos a través de la "tensión", una fuerza que prevalece tanto en la arquitectura como en la música. La sala de conciertos es una orquestación de paredes, balcones y paneles acústicos, que se desarrollan a partir de un prototipo arquitectónico único mediante diferentes escalas y tectónicas. El dramático contraste entre lo antiguo y lo nuevo crea un nuevo hito cultural para Praga.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
