We have received an honourable mention in the competition to design the new headquarters of the Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Kraków!
The new philharmonic building is born from the idea of two great spectacles observing one another: the city and music. The functional layout of the building is based on three distinct volumes, each corresponding to a different rhythm of use. All the volumes have their taller façades facing the city, creating viewing platforms with vantage points. The whole has been unified into a single form by a mound and becomes a new feature of the landscape.
