The Walt Disney Concert Hall is Leonard Koscianski's Astounding Architecture

Opened on September 20, 2015, the Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles is a fusion of several different styles of architecture. The Broad museum is a new kind of contemporary art museum Calling it “a gift to the people of Los Angeles,” Eli and Edythe Broad donated millions of dollars to open The Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles. It stands next to the iconic Disney Concert Hall that is designed by Frank Gehry and is the first major art museum that is free to. The public. The Broad is designed by Diller Scofidio and Renfro in teamwork with Gensler. It is a first for the new York-based architect in this city, and one of the number of large new buildings for a firm that has built its reputation with predominantly conceptual and theoretical projects recently .The architects, Diller, Scofidio and Renfro, demonstrate the museum as consisting of three parts – the vault, the veil, and the exhibition spaces in-between the two. The architecture highlights every painting and sculpture through its use of veil, vault, and the exhibition spaces. Though it will continue to be controversial, many architects will see the Broad Museum as the wave of future.

The hall was very well lit the whole time during the performance. I expected for the hall to be dimmed just to make the room feel more intimate, but I guess I had a bias idea of what a classical performance should look like. I found the venue to be small compared to what o was anticipating. The walls to the venue seemed to be made out of a white marble and it had a huge beautiful organ as the back drop. There were also two balconies, one in each side of the room, and a large chandelier in the middle that shined on the orchestra below. The venue could probably be classified as a warm/ friendly environment.

The outside of the building looks like a theater but the hall where service is held is kind of like a concert hall, which adds to the non-traditional theme of the church.

Originally built as Loew's Penn Theatre in 1927, then renovated and reopened as Heinz Hall in 1971. Now known as Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts, a center for arts and concert hall located in the Cultural District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This 2,676 seat hall presents symphony concerts, Pops concerts, children's concerts and national Broadway touring shows every year. A home to Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) and the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra.

When I first walked into the Cole Concert Hall I felt it was smaller than what I pictured. When I sat down I noticed how tall the ceiling was and I was quite impressed. Now on the stage it had this really tall white wall with curves in it. I thought they were just for design till someone opened the wall and started moving the piano onto the stage. The audience was a very small and most of them were dressed up properly for the event.

The layout of the Cinerama Dome consists of an auditorium, lobby, restrooms, projection rooms, and storage, see Fig 7. The entrance is located at the centre of the façade and is composed of glazed aluminum doors. The ticket sales area is located to the right of the main entrance. Concrete block wing walls enclose the lobby, which are embellished with decorative detailing in the form of alternating projecting half blocks arranged in a grid pattern (Emerton 2003, P 38). The exterior is circular in plan and the majority of the exterior surface consists of the domed roof. The entrance is housed within a pavilion, sheltered beneath a painted plywood canopy that cantilevers out over the sidewalk, as can be seen in Fig 8. The canopy is

In 1958, the stage was completely rebuilt to fix the acoustics of the hall. A stage shell was built to reflect sound, and most of the carpets and wall decorations were removed from the main concert hall, to improve the sound quality. The shell also clashed with the hall’s Art Deco style. However, while The Cleveland

The auditorium plays a dual function, connecting the first floor to the second floor galleries, and it also works as an event area. The seats are connected to the stairs creating bleachers in between, with an open staircase pushed to the left of the wall. In this way visitors are able to engage in the space by not only going up the staircase. This exposed area provides different types of events, from a presentation or performance, to screenings projecting into the front of the auditorium, to more intimate gatherings like groups and clubs. These more intimate spaces are due to the mechanized walls that act a as a curtain to section off the auditorium. In this manner the spaces of the auditorium adapt to the circumstances and the purpose of each different event, making the visitor feel like it’s in control of the

To start off, the decorations were mind blowing. When I first walked into the Mingle Wood Hall, the room was filled with golden albums hanging from the ceiling. The stage was also decorated

The buildings around the San Francisco Museum of Modern art, are skyscrapers and geometric shaped buildings. The SFMoMa stands out, with its color and design. As looking at the SFMoMa from across the street, the circular structure within the SFMoMa drives they eye to look at it because of how out of place it looks compared to the building itself

I thought the place would be more like the auditorium that I saw before from my high school, but in fact the lighting and the design had made the theatre looked more like a palace. It was divided into two levels, with the second level hanging over half of the first floor. The stage was covered with two red curtains that the outer curtain would be pulled open when the performance started. The theatre itself was surrounded by many window-like niches that appeared every few feets. We actually had met the musicians before the performance. Some of them were relaxing at the field in front of the building and talking to the audiences. The male musicians were dressed up in black suits uniformly while the female musicians had either dressed in black, long dresses or trousers. The similarities between all of the musicians were their friendly attitude and the sort of excitement that they shared on their

railings, balcony and the chandeliers that are placed in every room. As you walk into the theatre

The material discussed in the Disney Dining room, I feel had many similarities with the Formal Dinner Service article; however, I also feel that there were many differences. I thought that the discussion regarding the proper removal of plates from the table in the Disney Dining Room was to clear one plate at a time. This would avoid the noise of the plates hitting each other. I found an interesting article relating to your discussion post. This article is about 100 things restaurant staffers should never do and according to Buschel, “Never stack the plates on the table. They make a racket. Shhhhhh” (p. 1) .Also, I felt that the Formal Dinner Service article’s main focus was serving a formal residential dinner party. This alone brings

When Walt Disney opened Disneyland July 17th 1955 it was culmanation of ideas he had been formulating for ten years. Walt had a specific vision of what the park should be and how it should look, but also left the park open to the interpretation and ideas that each child who visited left with in thier memories. The idea of a place to welcome all and have no credance on who a person is but of the value of thier imagination and heart is an astounding thought, not only for the mid 1950s, but for today also. Disneyland has never been limited by what people believe are normal limitations but has strived to always shock and inspire with each visit to the park. Walt had been using this same formula of groundbreaking inoventions and a never

Concerts contain so many sensations. The white chairs being put away, the stage getting placed back on the big black trailer piece by piece, and the quiet shuffles of the last feet leave the stadium; the stadium transforms into the purple and white stadium it once was, leaving no
