The Design

About Tension Instrument Halla Ceolchoirme

Tá an tionscadal bunaithe ar staidéar na hailtireachta agus an cheoil. Díríonn an dearadh ar conas inspioráid a fháil ó cheol doláimhsithe agus é a chur i láthair i spás ailtireachta inláimhsithe. Déanann an dearadh an dá cheann a chomhcheangal ar deireadh trí "teannas", fórsa atá forleithne san ailtireacht agus sa cheol araon. Is éard atá sa halla ceolchoirme ná ceolfhoireann de bhallaí, balcóiní, agus painéil fhuaimiúla, a fhorbraítear ó fhréamhshamhail ailtireachta uathúil ag scálaí agus teicteonaic éagsúla. Cruthaíonn an chodarsnacht mhór idir an tsean agus an nua sainchomhartha cultúrtha nua do Phrág.

The Recognition

About the Duais Óir A' Design Award

Bhuaigh an dearadh Tension Instrument Halla Ceolchoirme Duais Óir A' Design Award, aitheantas thar a bheith clúiteach a bhronntar ar dhearaí den chéad scoth, iontacha agus sármhaithe. Is cruthuithe an-nuálacha, fíorasacha agus drithleacha iad buaiteoirí Óir a léiríonn géiniais, eagna agus máistreacht a ndearthóirí. Táthar ag súil go mbeidh an dearadh Tension Instrument Halla Ceolchoirme ina aireagán a mholtar go mór, ceannródaíoch agus séadchomharthach a sholáthraíonn luach nach bhfacthas riamh cheana. Is tionscadal iontach, measúil é an dearadh seo a bhuaigh Duais Óir A' Design Award a dhéanann sárleas do theorainneacha na healaíne, na heolaíochta, an deartha agus na teicneolaíochta agus a chuireann chun cinn iad.

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.
