Designed as a new home for the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra, the venue will contain a 1,600-seat concert hall and a smaller 400-seat chamber-music hall. The two concert halls will be suspended within the steel structure of the building’s roof, which takes its form from the shape of sound waves. The key idea behind our proposal for the SverdlovskPhilharmonic is that the new building is not just a mere extension of the cluster, but actually the connective tissue that brings all of those buildings together.
