VLTAVA PHILHARMONIC — Simple and pragmatic program stack creates a compact arrangement.
PERFECTLY COMPOSED — Compact internal organization for maximum efficiency and accessibility.
RIVER TO ROOF — From this rational volume, colonnades crescendo into a powerful expression ascending from river to roof.
BELVEDERE ROOFSCAPE — Elevated terraces extend diagonally to views of Prague's iconic skyline and natural setting.
"The Vltava Philharmonic Hall is composed as a meandering journey from riverbank to rooftop. Public flows and belvedere plazas unite the city life of Prague to the music within. Its halls are formed for sight, fine-tuned for sound, and orchestrated for functionality and connectivity. From this rhythmic structure, a symphony of colonnades and balconies extend as platforms for public life. Expressive yet pragmatic, the new Philharmonic will ascend to form a key landmark for Prague - from river to roof."Bjarke Ingels - Founder & Creative Director, BIG
“The new Vltava Philharmonic Hall will be a symbol of openness, accessibility, and exploration. From the Vltava square, streets ascend upward connecting interior balconies with exterior colonnades and terraces. Like eighth, quarter, half and whole notes, the steps the benches, façade, and colonnade are perfectly on beat offering its resident orchestras effective and extroverted rehearsal areas, while bringing the audiences within the halls closer to the source in an environment that is both majestic and intimate.”Brian Yang - Partner in Charge, BIG
