The Project
Impressions from the project process
Built to coincide with “Porto 2001 – European Culture Capital”, the concert hall is pictured here after structural work had been completed.
The flexible adaptability of the VARIO GT 24 wall formwork system completely fulfilled the special geometrical requirements.
The MULTIPROP towers could easily be adapted to the slope of the walls. Special couplings provided rigid and precise connections for the VARIO formwork and MULTIPROP shoring.
The architectural concrete building resembles a crystal whose shape develops from the inside out with the concert hall itself forming the heart of the structure. The concrete shell encloses a stack of room cubes and stretches around these as well as the intermediate spaces like a skin. (Photo: A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
The concrete formulation, with characteristics such as colour, texture, reflection, porosity and crack behaviour, was specially created for the structure and tested in advance on sample surfaces. (Photo: A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
White concrete was exclusively used for all concrete components in order to prevent mixing with other concretes. (Foto: A. Minson, The Concrete Centre)
