Stainless steel curves close up

Los Angeles, United States

Walt Disney Concert Hall

The concert hall is an internationally recognised landmark and one of the most acoustically refined halls in the world.

Its exterior is a cluster of curving stainless steel sails that catch and reflect the light of the city. Inside, the main auditorium is lined in hardwood, with the audience wrapped around the orchestra on all sides beneath billowing timber ceilings and the sculptural pipes of the organ.
