From colour down to black and white – this concert hall is a fabulous piece of architecture. Viveka and I had a good hour’s rest here with a nice cup of coffee.
The architectural design resembles a palace of ice,
and was created by Barozzi Veiga, a Barcelona-based architect’s studio.
Finished 2014, it has two concert halls and can accommodate 1.145 people in all.
The Philharmonic Hall edifice has won many prestigious awards in architectural competitions.
Its greatest success is the European Union prize for contemporary architecture –
Mies van der Rohe Award, 2015.

GREAT photos. Love the vertical stripes with white chairs. Hard to look at!
John – I cannot look at it at all…;-D
Amazing architecture. Just so love them!
Thank you, and I loved them too. I thought it a masterpiece.
WOW! Great pictures of a great building.
With lots of love from the sea

Love your photos, especially the ones with people in them and I also love the photo with the white chairs!
Thank you – I found this building exceptional!
What happy geometric minimalism.
😀
Fantastic architectural photos, Ann-Christine. You have a great eye for patterns and light. What a beautiful building. Love the woman in red, the chairs and the staircase especially.
Thank you so much, Jane! Your appreciation means much to me!
Oh, and your first image of the lady in red is a great study in minimalism, A C!
😀
Love the stairway!
Beautiful, yes!
Beautiful. I especially love the elegant curve of the stairs.
Thank you – and the stairs, I loved them. And everything was so shining and white. pure.
Looks illusionist. Very impressive!
Haha, yes, thank you. I had to look at the floor or somewhere else than the walls…got dizzy in fact!
Yes must have been so. It’s very unique though. 💐💐
Superb photos of an amazing piece of architecture.
They are a bit straining to the eye, some of them, but I love them too!
Awesome . . .!!!
Thank you!
So many wonderful lines and curves. The architect must have had a great time designing there.
Yes. So much fun and delight! I am very impressed by Spanish architecture everywhere in the world. Innovative with style.
Very nice! I especially like the chairs and the stairway.
Glad to share it!
Incredible lines and curves. I love the pop of red in to top photo. The picture of the chairs against the wall I think is my favorite. It is a bit of an optical illusion.
Glad you enjoyed it, Marie! I felt a bit dizzy and could hardly look at the walls. They ”swam away” from my eyes. And, sometimes we are lucky – that lady in red came walking down the steps as I was drinking coffee. Guess if I was fast!
Really amazing design, Ann Christine.
Yes, I was amazed.
Wow!
😀 That’s what I said on entering the building…
Impressive architecture!
Isn’t it! I was mesmerized when I walked inside.
