The Design

About Tension Instrument Tónleikasalur

Verkefnið byggir á námi í arkitektúr og tónlist. Hönnunin beinist að því hvernig hægt er að sækja innblástur frá óáþreifanlegri tónlist og kynna hana í áþreifanlegu byggingarrými. Hönnunin sameinar þetta tvennt á endanum með "spennu", krafti sem er ríkjandi í bæði arkitektúr og tónlist. Tónleikasalurinn samanstendur af veggjum, svölum og hljóðeinangruðum þiljum, sem eru þróuð úr einstakri byggingarfræðilegri frumgerð með mismunandi mælikvarða og sviðum. Stórkostleg andstæða gamals og nýs skapar nýtt menningarlegt kennileiti fyrir Prag.

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.
