3XNs proposal for the Dublin National Concert Hall is a sculptural showcase which creates a magnificent new home for music, while also providing a framework for the historical context upon which the new concert hall sits. The new building provides a zone where the urban and park settings come together expressing their own symphony in addition to the music coming from within.
If there's anything good about the recession it is that because of it this hideous blob will never be built! I can't believe any architect in their right mind would ever design something so insensitive and overpowering that would also mean the destruction of a whole wing of the building AND the beautiful interior. Architects like this make me sick!

I'm mystified by the perspectives. The demography is bizarre and optimistically young. The NSO do a concert series every Friday night and the average age of the audience is mid-sixties. This is despite the fact this area has the largest concentration of commercial and office workers in Ireland.
Lovely scheme. If they can't fill the old hall what is the justification of building a much bigger one? Unfortunately like much that is beautiful Ireland just isn't ready for this. Great stuff though!

Amazing! I like animation and the music, very effective! The sun and sky are great! The design of the park´s facade is very subtle and understated, and inside is awesome!
