Herzog & de Meuron - Elbephilharmonie, Hamburg (Copyright 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 cone on the ceiling diverges the sound.
