The proposal for the Philharmonic Hall in Prague by Henning Larsen.
The new Prague Vltava Philharmonic will be the perfect ‘instrument’ - an expression of this place - realized in a new artistic language. Its cresting spires play in harmony with the towers, turrets, steeples and spires that grace the tapestry of the city’s roofscape.
Architecture: Henning Larsen

The Vltava Philharmonic Hall.
The new Vltava Philharmonic will be built by the Danish architectural studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).
BIG plans to complete the new building in 2032.
“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 & Partner, BIG.

The Shanghai Lingang Special Area master plan.
Design: Ennead Architects
Location: Shanghai, China
Ennead Architects has designed the Shanghai Lingang Special Area master plan (a new hub for global commerce) around the central axis that defines the Dishui Lake district in Shanghai.
One of the key features of the Shanghai Lingang Special Area will be “The Ring”. This circular, cantilevered observation deck, and museum will afford 360-degree views of nearby Dishui Lake, Shanghai and the Pacific Ocean.
The two towers flanking the Ring (The Tower Waterfall and Tower Rhomboid) are designed to become two of the most easily recognizable features of the new business district. Similar in scale, the towers have distinct identities.
