COPENHAGEN | The Copenhagen Concert Hall by Ateliers Jean Nouvel | Completed
The Copenhagen Concert Hall by Ateliers Jean Nouvel
The Copenhagen Concert Hall by Jean Nouvel is a part of the new "DR Byen" (DR Town), that eventually will house all of the Danmarks Radio (DR) by 2008. The concert hall and the DR Town are located in the northern part of Ørestad - an ambitious development area in Copenhagen. The concert complex will consist of four halls with the main auditorium seating 1,800 people. It will serve as the home of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

The budget has been expanded several times due to the immense complexity of the project. As of 2007 it had reached almost 300 million dollars making the Copenhagen Concert Hall along the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles the most expensive concert hall ever built.
Construction commenced in February 2003. Currently the expected time of completion for the project is January 2009 making the total time of construction just a little under 6 years.
