Parco della Musica was designed by Ital-
ian architect Renzo Piano. It consists
of three large concert halls arranged
around a central court.
Each concert hall differs from the other
in terms of dimension and functions, but
they are all characterized by an
extreme flexibility and versatility of the
space. The interiors are entirely made of
cherry-wood, which best resolved acous-
tic problems.
The photography was commissioned by
Domus for an editorial feature.

Designed by architect Frank Gehry, Walt
Disney Concert Hall, new home of the
Los Angeles Philharmonic, is designed
to be one of the most acoustically so-
phisticated concert halls in the world,
providing both visual and aural intimacy
for an unparalleled musical experience.

are the forms of the building extremely
photogenic inviting wonderful abstract
compositions, but the weather can also
be relied upon to give consistently
beautiful light.

the Hall’ Frank Gehry.
