Water, by Herzog & de Meuron

The Swiss Architects Herzog & de Meuron have proposed a new design for the Philharmonie in the HafenCity of Hamburg at the waterfront of the river Elbe - the Elbphilharmonie. On top of an old warehouse two concerthalls (a big one, and a smaller one) are positioned, plus a hotel that wraps around it all.

The form of the building echoes the water of the Elbe. The glass facade recalls the transparency of water.

The form of the building also looks a bit like an Ice-berg. That reading is almost too ironic, since the Port of Hamburg is regularly visited by cruise-ships that would dwarf the Titanic.

In January 2007 a slight redesign has been presented. On a special website a 3-d tour around and through the building can be made.

The auditorium is designed to create a stadium-like one-room atmosphere, say the architects, in contrast to the very compartmentalized traditional concerthall design. The cone on the ceiling diverges the sound.

The project is added to the Top 10, Architects, and Representation pages.
