New images for the Nuremberg Concert Hall have been released by the architecture companies in charge of the project. Driven by the 1960s architecture of the existing building, the building will address acoustic issues to provide a world-class space for performance.

While the project is on hold due to the pandemic, the competition-winning design was made as an addition to the ensemble of the Meistersingerhalle, reports Archdaily.

The design for the Nuremberg Concert Hall would seat over 1,700 people, featuring an ideal “shoebox” style space. The concert hall was organized to engage the existing infrastructure and context to create a connection between the present landscape and public space. As the team previously stated, the combination of the existing building and the new translucent exterior envelope provide “a house with four fronts” that engages the surrounding landscape on all sides. The completed design stage introduces a strict color-coding that defines the use of spaces, reports Archdaily.

The hall would limit reverberation time to nearly 2 seconds, and the largest distance from a seat to the stage would be no more than 35 meters. In contrast to the existing building of the Meistersingerhalle, the open foyer is wrapped in a transparent skin, while the design of the outdoor space continues the existing structures and reinterprets them through the project’s materials.
