Vltava Philharmonic Hall

We are seeking the best design for a unique philharmonic building that will be called the Vltava Philharmonic Hall.

Description
The City of Prague and the Czech Republic have conceived a plan to build a new concert hall within the City of Prague as part of a contemporary music center of world-class standard (from the perspective of acoustics, capacity, layout, technical, architectural and urban design) and that will simultaneously confirm Prague's reputation as a cultural capital and a symbol of the Czech music tradition. The aim of the project is to create a new, living, open and fully-used public cultural space for all visitors, and above all the residents of Prague.
The Vltava Philharmonic Hall building will be the spark in the transformation of the massive transformation area of Bubny-Zátory and has the ambition of becoming a cultural AND new social center in Prague 7, and for the whole of the Czech capital.
For these reasons the City of Prague is preparing an architectural competition intended to result in a design for the future appearance of this new music center.
Estimated costs of the project: CZK 6.1 billion
