The newly opened
Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, Germany is a
visually stunning structure from a design perspective, with its gorgeous
wave-shaped facade, curved elevators, and its seemingly endless stairs.
However, the focal point of the $843 million building is its one of a
kind central auditorium designed specifically for a balanced sound
throughout the concert hall.
As reported by
Wired,
Swiss architectural firm Herzog and De Meuron worked alongside One to
One studio to painstakingly build the coral reef-like structure
from 10,000 unique acoustic panels lining the ceiling, walls, and
balustrades.
