Source The Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, by Herzog & de Meuron. Amazing building, a must go place if you like architecture. [5038 × 3359]
archi_hoo says Went there over the summer. It has such a neat structural system because the bottom half is an existing warehouse building that they renovated and built on top of.
tfofurn says Kate Wagner (McMansion Hell) visited there; I recall her reaction being positive. When I tried to find that, I instead found [a piece she’d written for 99PI about the risk of having internationally-famous architects design concert halls](https://99percentinvisible.org/article/starchitects-hall-high-risk-concert-halls-gehry-age/).
BopTheDrass says Love the contrast between old and new, brick vs glass, rough vs shiny, dynamic vs rigid
