The Copenhagen Concert Hall by Jean Nouvel is a part of the new DR Byen (DR Town) that will also house all of the Denmark’s Radio (DR). The concert hall and the DR Town are located in the northern part of Ørestad – an ambitious development area in Copenhagen. The concert complex consists of four halls with the main auditorium seating 1,800 people. It serves as the home of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel is the architect of the project. The structure can be likened to a meteor covered by big blue screens, supposed to resemble water that can be used to project visual content on.
The construction budget 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.
SurfaPore C was used to protect the precious cement-based surfaces that dominate the concert hall.
