About Tension Instrument संगीतमण्डपम्

एषा परियोजना वास्तुकलायाः संगीतस्य च अध्ययने आधारिता अस्ति। अयं परिकल्पना अमूर्तात् संगीतात् प्रेरणां स्वीकृत्य तस्य मूर्ते वास्तुशिल्पस्थाने प्रस्तुतीकरणे केन्द्रितः अस्ति। अन्ततः अयं परिकल्पना 'तनाव'-नामक-शक्त्या द्वयोः संयोजनं करोति, या शक्तिः वास्तुकलायां संगीते च सर्वत्र विद्यते। इयं संगीतमण्डपः भित्तीनां, गवाक्षाणां, श्रव्यपटलानां च समन्वयः अस्ति, ये विभिन्नानां मापनानां रचनातन्त्राणां च द्वारा एकस्मात् अद्वितीयात् वास्तुशिल्पपूर्वरूपात् विकसिताः सन्ति। प्राचीनस्य नूतनस्य च नाटकीयः प्रतिविरोधः प्राग्-नगरस्य कृते नवीनं सांस्कृतिकं चिह्नस्थानं रचयति।

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

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.
