AL_A Draws Inspiration from Music for This Building Design
Kalin Ned — April 21, 2022 — Art & Design
A contemporary, engaging, and stylish panoramic philharmonic concert hall is set to occupy a site in Belgrade, Serbia. Designed by British architecture studio AL_A, which is under the direction of architect Amanda Levete, this cultural building development is said to be the "first venue of its kind in the Balkans."
AL_A focused on "mirroring the movement of music" through design. The panoramic philharmonic concert hall consists of four light-hued volumes that are arranged to "encircle a central space that will be covered by a draped canopy." The development will be able to house massive performances that could seat up to 1,600 guests. In addition to this sizable hall, which also includes the podium stage (of course), there will also be a recital hall and a creative hub.

Trend Themes
1. Panoramic Philharmonic Concert Halls - Designing new concert halls that incorporate panoramic views and unique shapes that reflect the movement of music could disrupt traditional concert experiences.
2. Creative Hubs in Cultural Buildings - Incorporating creative hubs into cultural building developments offers an opportunity for community engagement and collaborative spaces that could disrupt traditional performance venues.
3. Draped Canopies in Architecture - Incorporating draped canopies into architectural designs could provide a new way to create a covered open space that allows natural light to enter, which could disrupt traditional building designs.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects who design cultural buildings, such as concert halls, can incorporate unique designs that reflect the movement of music and open up community engagement spaces.
2. Performing Arts - Performing arts organizations can incorporate creative hubs within their building designs to engage with their community and offer collaborative spaces.
3. Event Planning - Event planners can consider new panoramic concert hall options when organizing large scale events that require unique and innovative venues.
