The Design

About Tension Instrument Talla Cuirm-Chiùil

Tha am pròiseact stèidhichte air sgrùdadh ailtireachd agus ceòl. Tha an dealbhadh ag amas air mar a gheibh thu brosnachadh bho cheòl neo-fhaicsinneach agus a thaisbeanadh ann an àite ailtireil susbainteach. Aig a’ cheann thall tha an dealbhadh a’ cothlamadh na dhà tro “tension”, feachd a tha cumanta ann an ailtireachd agus ceòl. Tha an talla cuirm-chiùil na orcastra de bhallachan, balconies, agus panalan fuaimneach, a tha air an leasachadh bho prototype ailtireachd gun samhail le diofar lannan agus teactonaig. Tha an eadar-dhealachadh iongantach eadar sean is ùr a’ cruthachadh comharra-tìre cultarach ùr airson Prague.

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.
