Facade


© Moreno Maggi
By layering and rotating the ellipsoid metal façade structure, the design receives a very dynamic character. This is underlined with the translucent textile membrane, which covers the steel-frame and creates magnificent light effects.

These orange membranes also cover the volume of the music hall itself. This is the heart of the building: a totally enclosed and protected space, which creates a special theatre atmosphere.
Projections on the outer skin create playful effects and convert the façade into a huge billboard communicating with the passers-by for upcoming events. While the buildings appearance exposed to daylight is of a monolithically calmness that mutates at dawn. The inner experience is transmitted to the outside thought out the transparent skin: the whole building becomes a “light sculpture”.
