The Sinfonia Varsovia Orchestra announced a two-stage architectural competition for a conceptual design
of the main municipal concert hall for 1800 seats as well as the adaptation of the ex-Veterinary Institute's
historical buildings located at Grochowska Street in Warsaw.

The Competition task consists in developing an architectural and urban concept of the development
of the former Veterinary Institute complex for the purpose of the seat of Orkiestra Sinfonia Varsovia.
The task includes the preparing of conceptual architectural designs of the adaptation of the existing listed buildings
as well as designing the main city concert hall of the seating capacity of 1800.

The objective of the Competition was to indicate the best design of Warsaw’s new cultural centre related to Orkiestra Sinfonia Varsovia.
The new centre will not only be an attractive place to present classical music and other genres of art, but also a place to spend free time.

I thought the worst era of brutalism is past by now.

It's pretty common here in Poland. We have alot of great projects in architectural competitions, but usually they choose some s**tty one. :( And here is the perfect example.

So the pretty old house will be engulfed by the giant wall of concrete.What a great idea!
:puke:

I thought the worst era of brutalism is past by now.

We don't have many buildings in this interesting style, practically none in Warsaw although I'm not sure it can be really called "Brutalism" facade of this wall might be not so "brutal" at all anyway I like the idea, it's rather interesting and should make big impression in reality bigger than another organic blob like those we see in China etc.

here you can see the location in google maps:

I like this project. It provides order to its surroundings, a very nice garden for strolling at intermissions and events while defining the street edge and above all the auditoreum is sublime where I hope as much attention is paid to acoustics as design. I have seen building like Gehry's Disney Centre that are pretty interesting and sculptural but not all buildings can be self-referential landmarks like that one. This building has a context and just needs to reimnforce it. The final design will show all :)

So the pretty old house will be engulfed by the giant wall of concrete.What a great idea!
:puke:

Dont worry i give it no chance to be build .

^^Why? This old building is nothing special anyway...

Banaszewski and Zaha had some cool facades. Too bad this was not picked.

The problem with these types of competitions is that all the designs are so good that you'd like to build most of them!:)

to be honest though most of those designs are average, maybe apart from a few..
