A new concert hall @ Paris

The building of Cité de la musique is in itself already a small miracle. But seeing what is currently being built just next to it is even more breathtaking! The new Paris Philharmony is said to be the most expensive concert hall worldwide. The project survived despite the recent buget cuts of the French government. With Pleyel and le theatre du Châtelet, Paris has two concert halls of an excellent worldwide reputation. But despite their reputation, they are rather small, and don't provide enough space neither for orchestra rehearsals nor for educational projects, Laurent Bayle (president of the Philharmonie Paris) explains. We hope the project will succeed and look forward to inauguration! Here are some images of what architect Jean Nouvel's Philharmonie de Paris shall look like once it will be finished. If everything goes well, it will be inaugurated September 2014. This is the view from Parc de la Vilette onto the building site of the Philharmony as of today: You can already see the shape...
