Concert Hall Munich

The support structure and the hall architecture are the central motifs that subdivide the building and give rhythm to the space. It is the large mass of the building that intervenes centrally in the environment. Shining bricks and industrial glass as elements of the hall architecture, overlaid with a golden roof. A slight irritation, a phase shift in the midst of the industrial area, which only refers to the interior at the second glance – this is how the building slowly enters the visitors’ awareness.

Inside, the untreated support structure lifts the large concert hall above the roofs of the surrounding buildings. The lower central portico is a place of gathering and orientation. From here, it spirals upwards, widens in front of the small halls, bars or meeting points, offers views to different sides of the surroundings, and is functional and practical. Above the roofs, the view stretches back westwards to the towers of the Frauenkirche and the evening sunset. From here, the great hall opens up, concentrated and tailored to the moment of music.
