| Discussion | Berlin Philharmonic Hall Commentary
"A typical product of the Expressionist movement and of organic architecture, this concert hall in which the audience is seated around the orchestra was worked out in accordance with the laws of acoustics." "Philharmonie, Berlin, Hans Scharoun's most finished work, rejects both rectangular organization and symmetry. Its curved roofs and ceilings are reminiscent of some vast nomad tent. External appearance has here been subordinated to the requirements of the interior." — Henri Stierlin. Comprende l'Architecture universelle 2. p470-471. Address Mathaikirchstrafe 1, Tiergarten, 10785 | ||||||||||
