| dc.description | Smaller venue, the Kammermusiksaal; Actually a two-venue facility with connecting lobby, the Philharmonie comprises a Großer Saal of 2,440 seats for orchestral concerts and a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal, of 1,180 seats. Though conceived together, the smaller venue was only added in 1987, following the design of architect Edgar Wisniewski, after a project by Hans Scharoun. The buildings are asymmetrical and tentlike, both covered with yellow-colored metal cladding, with the main concert hall in the shape of a pentagon. The Philharmonie is highly regarded for the quality of its acoustics. The so-called vineyard-style seating arrangement (with terraces of irregular heights rising around a central orchestral platform) was pioneered by this building, and became a model for other concert halls. The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum, can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/8/2014) | en_US |
