PHILHARMONIC HALL SZCZECIN
The building emerges from its urban context, influenced by the steeply pitched roofs and the verticality of the city’s buildings, by the monumentality of the upright ornaments of its neo-Gothic churches.
With an expressionist mindset, Barozzi Veiga has aimed to use geometry to give shape to a new rhythmic composition that conveys feelings by balancing massiveness and verticality.
The use of glass as the exterior cladding material highlights how the building contrasts with the conditions of its surrounding environment. It creates a bright, transparent and upstanding object.
The building’s interiors are simple. The symphonic hall differs from these in that it is a sculpted object embedded into a barely outlined mineral-like space.
