wow, marco polo tower looks really nice, never noticed that building before..

^
Yes, finally Germany gets some more apartment highrises which are not social housing. Seems mentality slowly changes. Such thing would have been unthinkable 15 years ago.

the concert hall looks always more impressive !!
Marco polo tower is very nice but expensive to live there , hosting some of the most expensive condos in Hamburg .
Three miles further west is another condo tower ( "Kristall") u/c at the waterfront in the Altona area

Ich danke schön, very geil! :applause:

Very geil update :yes:

Superb, amazing, obergeil! The facade seems to look better the further it goes up.

I always thought that Hamburg was lacking a real landmark. (Hardly anyone outside Germany knows the "Michel" or what the "Michel" is.)
But now chances are good for the first icon of Hamburg!

I already love Elbphilharmonie! Thanks maja88, great pisc:)

Tiaren: I always thought the Hamburg City Hall is the actual landmark, instead of the proposed Michel. Well, there are many people who know the Hamburger Rathaus.

Huge project! Super geil!

This looks very promising indeed!

Probably Hamburg's highest portable outdoor toilet:

:banana:

At least it looks like the pattern on the windows now varies a bit. The monotony was my biggest concern.

Tiaren: I always thought the Hamburg City Hall is the actual landmark, instead of the proposed Michel. Well, there are many people who know the Hamburger Rathaus.

Oh...well thats okay with me, since I believe it's the most beautiful city hall in the world! :cheers:

Tiaren: I always thought the Hamburg City Hall is the actual landmark, instead of the proposed Michel. Well, there are many people who know the Hamburger Rathaus.
Not the city hall. Offical current landmark is the michel.

GEILLLLL

Definitely one of the most stunning projects, IMO, that comes to mind at the moment. :cheers:

I must some day come here for a performance.

mmmh, I'm not sure I like this one,

No doubt that is an innovative structure, but not really good looking for me.

Second row pics are not there, don't know why. Till then, you can see the pics on the website - just click on NEW and look after "Elbphilharmonie" among 23-Apr-2010 updates.

The Elbphilharmonie (Elbe Philharmonic Hall) includes 2 concert halls, a 5-star-hotel and appartments on top of an old warehouse from 1961 (Kaispeicher A). The construction has already begun, at the moment the warehouse is cored.
completion: 2010 / architects: Herzog & de Meuron / cost: 322 million €

The opening is sheduled for may 2012.

323,2 million € is just what the city of Hamburg pays.
Donations of 57,5 million € are not included.
Actually the concert hall and the apartments cost 379,9 million €.

The costs of the commercial parts of the building such as the 5 star hotel are not included and unknown. At first it had to cost 241,3 million €, but the costs increased and are unknown today. The investors didn't make them public.

So the overall costs of this building are beyond 600 million €.

That's fett. Let's hope the Elbphilharmonie is worth it once it's finished. ;)

This is a link to a collection of HD marketing videos about the city of Hamburg, parts of the Hafencity, inner city, the new Hamburg Philharmonic Hall, the river & harbour area, architecture, and more in clips of 2-10 mins.
Some older stuff is mixed under as well as two 2010 clips about the philharmonic hall and future development of the eastern part of Hafencity (Only in german). The Elbphilharmonie can be seen in several clips.

37 vids total, several of them interviews..

The videos have mostly been shot in 2009 and some are older, so they are not up to date considering the Hafencity area or the concert hall, but they integrate renderings of the new Hafencity buildings in the vids.

Best thing is: Hamburg looks just beautiful in Summer :)

Awesome project!! This building will be so representative of Hamburg, that I can see it in pictures everywhere.

I'm going to visit Hamburg in August - can't wait!

How much for your plane tickets?

Wonderful, I'm touring Germany again visiting all my family. Hopefully I can make a little reschedule after Koln-Berlin

How much for your plane tickets?

The tickets were 80 pounds (return), to Hannover though as I got family there.

This picture was made last friday (July 16th).

The facade reflections work just perfectly! At first I was afraid, that it would never even come close to the renders. But now...call me impressed! :)

Fascinating building. Inside as well as out.

This is going to be a fantastic building indeed.

Nothing else like it in the world :)

And to my surprise, the cladding is indeed just like in the beautiful renderings we saw.

Fantastic photos again. Hamburg will have a wonderfull new landmark building. And yes, the cladding turned out quite nice. Was a bit sceptical in when they installed the first elements. But now it looks good.

well i have to say the glass is too blueish! i thought of something else, much more transparent and not that glazed!

...therefore, they have no more beef regarding the financing of this project?!

well, I think even if it would cost a few more millions, this would get build as it is just a master piece!

much more transparent and not that glazed!

IMO there is no such thing as transparent glass, at least when you're looking in from the outside. ;) Without any glazing the glass would have just appeared dull and dark.

yeah, i know, i know...
but i said much more transparent, not entirely, maybe those spots, dunno.
and the glazing isn t exactly necessary for not becoming dull and dark, there are those kind of more matte glasses also. this way maybe it wouldn t appeared that blue, reflecting the sky.
i m saying it cause i m thinking of those renders and it apeared whiter and smoother and i thought it won t be a problem for doing it in reality like in the renders.:nuts:

Oh, give me a break. Of course the glazing appears lighter in the renderings then the pics. They're reflecting the clouds in the sky. Duh! Did you notice that the renderings are of a lighter color semi-cloudy sky and the pics are of a deep blue cloudless sky? Why not wait until we see pics on a semi-cloudy day or try using your imagination.

If you feel the need to be an annoying complainer, at least have a solid basis for your whining.

The facade will look white and grey enough in winter. Its not like Hamburg is known for its eternal blue skies and sunshine. This isn't California or Miami.

Exachary!

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o122/realJot/sky/DSCF2266.jpg

:drool::drool:

lovely already! i´m so much looking forward to seeing how it will look like all completed!

The glass facade looks nothing like the renders.

^^well is this good or bad now? it wouldnt have been possible to build a "white" glass facade anyways and since it still looks good i´m okay with that it turned out differently.

The glass facade looks nothing like the renders.

lovely already! i´m so much looking forward to seeing how it will look like all completed!

than lets swich the fassade to blue and we know more
http://i33.tinypic.com/2v9el9u.jpg
:D

del

thanks jijajot! it still looks pretty good to me and indeed is much closer to the real facade!
though i dont like the blue illumination in the last pics.

The blue illumination was just part of the light installation "Blue Port", which was part of the Hamburg Cruise Days. It should have been dismantled again.

Impressive cladding.
I really like these innovative solutions.

When is it supposed to be opened?

It should have been opened this spring already. But construction errors have led to a delay. Now the building is expected to be inaugurated in 2012.

An architectural, urban and cultural landmark of global proportions :cheers: A fitting contribution to the global cultural scene from the historic city.

Fascinating job, Hamburg and Germany!

By the way, for those who were asking this question before, the hotel on the top floors will be operated by Westin (of Starwood hotels chain), opening on March 1, 2012. There will be 244 rooms.

^^thank you letnitczka :) it gives a very nice impression of what it will more or less look like :cheers:

This looks great. I want one!

It will only set you back like 600 million euros.

I walked on that lake with all those boats, when it was frozen in march. That was amazing!

new version of the before shown timelapse clip (http://www.ndr.de/regional/dossiers/elbphilharmonie/elbphilharmonie208.html) of the construction, covering 39 months from april 2007 - july 2010 in 6:50 minutes

its available in high quality now on the webpage of north german radio.

watch out for all the details around the construction area like the harbor birthday celebration

Are there any new pics ?

It s incredible how H&M get the contrast with materials, the hard, heavy on the bottom, and light on top... It s gonna be a symbol, as big as the sydney opera!

^^Might wanna rephrase that. Well, not if you were talking about the "symbolism"...anyway...here´s to remember.

http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6470/ep1761.gif

Impressive!

You re right, the last part is a bit too much, but I expect a lot of media coverage when it s finished, and the interior "shines" in concert...

Hope they peel off the protective glass film fast

Hamburg is developing quickly into a modern looking city.

^
indeed.

Did a harbour tour around 15 years ago and I was really disappointed how crappy all looks. Doing it now would be a whole new experince.

Are there any new pics ?

Just gorgeous and breathtaking in so many ways. Excellent photos of an excellent building.

O_o
Perfect!!!
Last photo is fantastic.

Are those black edges of the windows going to stay?
In the renderings they were white and less prominent.

The black edges emphasize the grid structure of the facade. That makes it look much more conventional than the "white sail" of the renderings IMHO.

I haven't seen it in nature though, just judging by the pictures.

Amazing pictures. The view is spectacular. :cool:

My own town of Rotterdam can take a few lessons from the developments here, especially the ambition level and the quality of the architecture.

One of the greatest yet least talked about project in Europe at the moment.
As soon as it's anything phallus-like and 300 meters tall you get dozens of pages of "AWESOME!", but here... very little attention.

I will take my son to his first opera in Paris (Opera Garnier); the second will be Hamburg. ;)

you should be penalised for torturing your poor son !! :)

That is all absolutely spectacular!

What do you expect from many people here if their little grey cells are programmed like brains of ordinary soccer fans?

Manu 1 Stoke 0 => not bad game
Manu 2 Stoke 0 => nice game
Manu 3 Stoke 0 => good game
Manu 4 Stoke 0 => very good game
Manu 5 Stoke 0 => perfect game
Manu 6 Stoke 0 => great game
Manu 7 Stoke 0 => fantastic game
Manu 8 Stoke 0 => wonderful game
Manu 9 Stoke 0 => unbelievable game
Manu 10 Stoke 0 => AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!

Who of them cares bout the real game quality? :lol:

Absolutely fantastic. Big round of applause!

That photo is amazing!

Awesome!!!

One of the most beautiful buildings I ever seen!!!! :drool:

wow that's beautiful.

really beautiful!

really beautiful!...and will be even better when the roof is done and the three corners are connected. But the surroundings with all the boats on the Elbe is perfect anyway. :bowtie:

Lotta reverence for Hans Schroun in this one. Could be the best concert hall in the world if the acoustics go as planned

I was there in August and not only was I impressed by this buidling but from the whole city, Hamburg is really beautiful indeed!

Well, I actualy dont like it. Its quite ugly. A giant block in a area with only smaller builings that looks for me nothing like a philharmonic building.

Yet an impressive addition to Hamburgs architecture. Impressive only due to its massiveness though.

Hamburg is more and more becoming Germanys most beautiful city. Good planning there!

Appearance depends only on the perspective.
Most pics here were taken from the ferry line 62 (+tele), and only very few from #73 or from the stop Sandtorhöft.

Is there a rule how a philharmonic/opera building must look?
If Milano or Paris should be standards, the Sydney Opera House must be poor :lol:

Architecture is nothing for blind and/or biased people.

Hamburg has always been Germanies most beautiful city. Some say Munich but they are wrong.

^ Sorry, for me definitely Berlin!
Just depends on what visuals appeal to you :)

Elbphilhamonie in May 2008. Where? :)

I agree. It's to much a gimmick. It looks like Disney World... I think this is such a building you love or you hate. :)

But whether I like it or not, it is and will be a true icon for Hamburg! :cheers:

CHIC,
ILOVEIT

AWESOME! :drool:

What exactly looks Disney World-ish about it? IMO it's the exact opposite. Disney World looks cheap, tacky and unoriginal. The Elbphilharmonie looks sleek, modern, unique and relatively expensive even though it's probably not everyone's cup of tea.

+1. People are entitled to dislike its design, but to relate it to Disney/Vegas style tackiness, seems like an objectively inaccurate description.

It looks like Disney World...
Year ... and Minnie Mouse is certainly more charming than Mona Lisa :lol:

It's very funny to read opinions on the not finished real building of people who have seen the construction only once or twice, or even never before.
Same behavior as of all the theoretical China experts.

Unique location, amazing building! auf geht's in die Zukunft!!! :D

I love this building, but I really wish the contractors in Hamburg would build even higher buildings. Hamburgh is such a huge and awesome city and it should have a real skyline with clusters of highrises and skyscrapers. COME ON HAMBURG LEAD THE WAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL VIBRANT METROPOL :)

I think Hamburg is nothing like Rotterdam, it doesn't need skyscrapers to get interesting (no offence to Rotterdam). Nevertheless, i would love to see some stunning architectures rising on the Elbe's left bank, so why not? :D

^^ Yes, indeed why not :)

Hamburg needs/deserves more international recognition - hopefully this building is one step towards it!

Is the Philharmoniker Hamburg going to be stationed in it?

Is the Philharmoniker Hamburg going to be stationed in it?

No. The North German Radio (NDR) Symphony Orchestra.
Philharmoniker Hamburg ist the orchestra of the Hamburg State Opera.

Really interesting building :applause:

One of the most impressive buildings I've seen in ages. Great job, and as someone else said, the final product seems to stay true to the renderings. Hands down good job.

Hafencity makes me think we really botched Copenhagen's new development areas.

Deutsche Perfektion! :cheers:

I like the picture from the beach. Awesome.

I think it's funny that some people in this thread says it doesn't look like a philharmonic hall, since it's basically just a copy of the Berlin Philharmonic placed on an old warehouse building(if you want to be harsh).

http://haydnphil.org/images/newsletter/BerlinPhilharmonie.jpg

Its certainly an homage to Schroun's Philharmonic Hall, but I wouldn't go so far as copy. The scale, material, overall form and actual halls are somewhat different.

Fantastic shots Schischa :applause:


Can't await the opening. It'll surely be one of the world's greatest venues.

It really will. This is one of the greatest building on earth.

An impressive Landmark for Hamburg!

Pitty the cladding is a bit too gimmicky for my taste... Although that doesn't prevent this building from being very good. +1 for Hamburg :)

(Oh, nice foto's by the way JiJa)

Looking really good. :okay:

The only BRD building I appreciate. From that on, Hamburg is back in the game.

When are you guys finishing it? I need to know when to book the flight for. ;)

The first concerts are scheduled to take place in June 2013, the final inauguration will be at the end of 2013. :)


Another question: Could someone tell me what they're doing for the urban space around the Elphi?
Will there be any sculptures, plants/trees, benches, special pavement, lights?

I really hope they won't just cover it all with naked asphalt or something, that would be a disgrace. :|

Damn, Hamburg rules :banana: This is such a great european building...ALWAYS leave it to the germans :okay:

Nice, thanks for that. What about Hafencity, around the same time, no? Is there a thread for it somewhere?

Well, the HafenCity is extending further towards "Chicago Square". Constructions are about to start. Even some further highrises (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1288863) may join the party. Initially, the Lighthouse Tower by Teherani (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=32731826#post32731826) was also proposed for this area.

It's all not that certain yet. But a lot is gonna happen before you can call the whole HafenCity "finished", that's for sure.

And of course this forum features a thread for it :cool:

Gorgeous shot, thanks a lot for sharing! :okay:


The facade is absolutely magnificent.

Incredible. Herzog & de Meuron can never do wrong.

Incredible. Herzog & de Meuron can never do wrong.

Most of us were disappointed with the new Walker Art Center they did here in Minneapolis (not that its necessarily bad but way below their standards), and I have never been a fan of St Jakob park in Basel. But this is strongly in the running for coolest building in the world and looks like it will be a pretty phenomenal hall in there.

Fantastic...looks like a render!

Excellent, i like this kinda quality building, it looks clean, modern and elegant unlike brick or stone cladding towers. :hug:

(and other shots of the port area)

^^ Beautiful, just beautiful! Thanks!

Looking good! It's a great addition to Hamburg!

amazingly beautiful, no doubt about it.

Keep us updated ...wow.. do I really have to wait until 2013 to go to the first concert there? I can't wait.

I love the Laeiszhalle, but this one is just out of this world.

nice building, i think i have to visit it for a concert :)

This is one COOL Concert Hall. I love the contrast between the old and the new.

What is the current status of this building? Isn't it waaaay behind schedule? Is at least the exterior of the building completed yet? (I can't really tell by the distant photo posted above in January) When is it supposed to finally open?

3014...I mean 2014. Maybe.

And I thought projects in Berlin took ages. But I guess in that department Hamburg gets the cake :)

So an opening this year seems unlikely...:(

Great renovation, the Philharmonic is gorgeous!:)

ps: I love the cladding

Does anyone have any information on when work will resume on this project? They have stopped work because of an issue regarding the stability of the roof?
