The Walt Disney Concert hall, designed by architect Frank Gehry, was not only designed as another piece of amusing architecture but is tailored to effectively convey orchestral sound.
This piece of architecture consisted of a large amount of materials to construct an ideal piece of architecture. This consisted of 12,500 pieces of primary steel, which weigh over 11,000 tons to build the halls. Also, 18,000 cubic yards of concrete were poured, including two roof slabs 15 inches thick. In creating a sense of bringing some of the outside nature into the concert hall, 8 skylights were designed with glass three inches thick to keep the interior naturally bright. A great 300 tons of simple but necessary materials of bolts and welds were used.
“From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.”
