About Tension Instrument Concert Hall

Qhov project yog raws li kev kawm ntawm architecture thiab suab paj nruag. Tus tsim tsom mus rau yuav ua li cas coj kev tshoov siab los ntawm cov suab paj nruag tsis muaj teeb meem thiab nthuav tawm nws hauv qhov chaw tangible architectural. Tus qauv tsim thaum kawg muab ob qho tib si los ntawm "kev ntxhov siab", lub zog uas muaj nyob rau hauv ob qho tib si architecture thiab suab paj nruag. Lub tsev hais plaub yog ib qho kev ua yeeb yam ntawm phab ntsa, balconies, thiab acoustic vaj huam sib luag, uas yog tsim los ntawm ib tug tshwj xeeb architectural qauv los ntawm txawv nplai thiab tectonics. Qhov sib txawv ntawm qhov qub thiab tshiab tsim ib qho kev coj noj coj ua tshiab rau Prague.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Kub

Tension Instrument Concert Hall yog tus yeej ntawm A' Design Award Kub, ib qho kev lees paub muaj meej mom heev uas muab rau cov qauv tsim qib ib, zoo kawg nkaus thiab tshwj xeeb. Cov neeg yeej Kub yog cov khoom tsim tshiab heev, pom deb heev thiab ci ntsa iab uas qhia txog kev txawj ntse, kev txawj thiab lub zog ntawm cov kws tsim qauv. Tension Instrument Concert Hall xav tias yuav yog ib qho kev tsim uas tau txais kev qhuas ntau, tsim kev nyiam tshiab thiab loj uas ua rau muaj nqi tsis tau muaj dua. Cov qauv tsim yeej A' Design Award Kub no yog ib qho haujlwm zoo kawg nkaus thiab muaj kev hwm uas pab tau ntau thiab nthuav dav ciam teb ntawm kev kos duab, kev tshawb fawb, kev tsim qauv thiab thev naus laus zis. Tension Instrument Concert Hall ua rau muaj kev xav tau heev, txhawb kev mob siab, txhawb kev tsim tshiab thiab ua rau peb xav tsis thoob.

Behind the Design

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.
