The Design
About Tension Instrument Whare Konohete
Ko te kaupapa i ahu mai i te ako o te hoahoanga me te waiata. E aro ana te hoahoa ki te tango i te hiringa mai i nga puoro koretake me te whakaatu ki roto i nga waahi hoahoanga. I te mutunga ka whakakotahi te hoahoa i enei mea e rua na roto i te "te taumahatanga", he kaha e kaha ana i roto i te hoahoanga me te puoro. Ko te whare konohete he hangahanga o nga pakitara, taupee, me nga panui acoustic, i hangaia mai i te tauira hoahoanga ahurei e nga unahi rereke me nga momo hangarau. Ko te rereke rereke o te tawhito me te mea hou ka hangaia he tohu ahurea hou mo 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

- 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.
