Germany, Hamburg, Elbphilharmonic Concert House, located at the Hamburg harbour on the way in to the harbours historic warehouse complex & new build harbour city.

 

The heart of the Elbphilharmonie is the large concert hall, built according to the Weinberg principle. The stage is positioned in the middle of the concert hall & surrounded by terraced public seats for the concert visitors.

Through the vineyard architecture, no spectator sits are more than 30 meters away from the conductor. The wall of the Great Hall, the "White Skin", owes its name to the roughly 10,000 gypsum individual sound measured plasterboards that make up the surface of the walls & ceiling with a large sound reflector installed above the stage. The panels reflecting together with the centre reflector on the ceiling vault the sound in every angle & guarantees optimal listening pleasure on every single seat.

 

The Façade is covered with 1096 individual fabricated glass elements; each one features an individualized raster print & some each divergently shape, serving as a sunscreen & décor. Each glass element at a cost of 3.000 € average.

Over 4.000 single mouth blown light globs placed at concert house.
