Lonely Planet review for Kultur und Kongresszentrum
With striking angles and clean lines, Parisian architect Jean Nouvel’s waterfront Kultur und Kongresszentrum is a post-modern marvel in an otherwise historic city. But don’t think a pretty face implies a superficial soul: the main concert hall’s acoustics are as close to perfect as humankind has ever known, according to many musicians and conductors who have performed here. The trick is that the tall, narrow concert hall, partly built below the lake’s surface, is surrounded by a reverberation chamber and has an adjustable suspended ceiling, all creating a bubble of silence.
