Philharmonie de Paris

This is a recent amazing design made by the architect Jean Nouvel in the process of building the Paris Hall. The New York Times spread the news and also provided some computer rendering photos of this architecture.

Throughout the two recent decades, the French government had poured money into building and renovating museums, library, and opera houses. This led to disappointment in orchestral lovers thought. Although there are also places that can satisfy their requirement, an art trend construction seemed to be still in need.

The audience now don’t need to wait any longer since Philharmonie de Paris, as it will be called, is scheduled to open in the Parc de la Villette, in northeast Paris, in 2012.

There were considerations in placing this building in France and many more facts about it that you can view in the article written by Allan Riding – New York Times online. Here I just want to show you the newest pictures that they got from this building project so you can have an overview of it. I love the curves covered the whole space, experts call they’re built in “vineyard” style, “with the audience on all sides of the orchestra on multilevel terraces”. It has the seat capacity of 2,400.
