BONN | Beethoven Festspielhaus

GermanMalay · February 8th, 2009, 01:35 AM

The city of Bonn has announced the 4 concept-aspirants for the new Beethoven Festspielhaus, the replacement for the old Beethovenhalle.

Looks like Beethoven's hometown will get a top-notch festival hall.

Old Beethovenhalle

Concept 'Diamant' by Zaha Hadid, London

Concept 'Wellen' by Herman & Valentiny, Luxembourg

Concept 'Rhein-Kristall' by Arata Isozaki, Tokyo

Concept 'Beethoven-Plateau' by Richard Meier & Partner, New York

zaha hadid concept is the best IMO

RobH · February 8th, 2009, 05:04 PM

I don't particularly like the look of the interior of that Hadid hall though.

I think overall the Richard Meier & Partner concept is best.

Patrick · February 8th, 2009, 05:21 PM

my personal favorite would be the "Kristall".

anaiptol · February 8th, 2009, 07:40 PM

best exterior - wellen, best interior - kristall, imo.

ØlandDK · February 8th, 2009, 11:31 PM

Rhein-Kristall looks the best IMO.

Skyline_FFM · February 11th, 2009, 12:00 PM

Interior design "Rhein-Kristall" is the best, while I like the outer design by Zaha Hadid the most. How about combining them?

GermanMalay · February 12th, 2009, 09:05 PM

I agree, the interior design of Isozaki's concept is pretty spectacular. From what I've heard the architects still have time to modify their designs before the city will select the winner.

Zaha Hadid is so repetitive. She needs some new ideas.

A closer look at the layouts for all 4 concepts.

GermanMalay · June 18th, 2009, 02:00 AM

Zaha Hadid's "Diamant" and Hermann & Valentiny's "Wellen" are in for the final race. The two concepts won the preliminaries. Construction costs are rumored to be around 75 Mio. € (not sure if that's up-to-date)

Here are a few new pictures:

WOW Amazing designs !!!!

Zaha Hadid's looks exactly the same as every other thing she has done. Aren't we all tired of it already? It looks exactly the same as the new concert hall that was proposed for St. Petersburg, Russia.

Still, Hadid's design is still the best out of the bunch. None of them are particularly outstanding, and Bonn deserves better.

stewartrama · June 21st, 2009, 04:43 AM

yes all of zaha hadids designs are the same, but they are still amazing. tell me that would not be a fascinating building if built. same with frank gehry, he builds the same thing every time, but it is still cool

That may not be up-to-date. Think about Elbphilharmonie Hamburg which rose from 170 million to 350 million now or the new ECB Skytower in Frankfurt, which rose from 500 million to 1.4 billion Euros!

dschill · June 23rd, 2009, 10:35 AM

Yeah i dont really like the interrior hall much either..

GermanMalay · June 23rd, 2009, 11:42 PM

I love Hadid's style and I think it would fit really well on that spot at the riverside.
When I think Beethoven, I think magnificent, frantic and emotional. To me, Hadid's concept is closer to that.

Skyline_FFM · June 24th, 2009, 10:00 AM

From those 2 I think I would prefer Zaha Hadid, since the Waves look a bit like a copy of Sydney Opera House...
