Casa da Música

A 2005 polyhedral concert hall in Porto, sculptural outside and densely organized with performance and public spaces within.

The mass contrasts strongly with the surrounding plaza and transport infrastructure.

Auditoria, acoustics, rehearsal rooms, and public functions are organized inside an irregular shell.

Among OMA’s cultural projects, it is one in which external form is especially prominent.
