Konzerthaus Blaibach

Beschreibung

One of the world's finest concert halls designed by Peter Haimerl.

The architect selected a specific cut of rough granite to clad the volume because the old houses in Blaibach were all built from this material.

“Concrete is the best material for good acoustics. What you need is a very hard surface and a few areas where you dampen the sound. People are using wood, but it is not the best material because it is not stiff. The concrete here is a lightweight mix with recycled glass aggregate that results in a rough-textured surface—“like paper! " - Haimerl.
