Music Hall, Aachen
The from the outside clearly readable skulpturale concert hall hides itself like a rock crystal behind the raw shell, which reminds of a trimmed flint.
The contrasts of nature versus culture are confronted here and are nevertheless undergone a natural symbiosis. On the one side the nature seems to flow in form of the Park into the entrance hall inside, on the other side the concert hall forms with its rauen shelly limestone surface and its culture core with its purpur dress a contrast and a fusion at the same time.
The entrance hall dressed in anthracite gray, polished concrete offers an excellent rear to the social events by its dark colour. The light concept plans irregular punctual compression of light and shade, similarly to a light play of a sheet roof at the edge of a forest clearing.
The impression of light islands is accompanied by an orange glowing ascending from the depth over the stone structured shelly limestone surface of the concert body.
