This first blog post is about a concert hall, not an actual home. This building definitely deserves being in my very first post!
The New World Symphony Complex (NWSC), designed by architectural legend Frank Gehry, opened its doors for the first time last month. Gehry is such a talented artist and his buildings never fail to impress. Gehry out did himself on this Miami-Beach facility. The NWSC is very soft and angelic inside; it makes me think that the main concert hall is meant to be filled with only the finest, most beautiful music. No sharps or flats permitted! Gehry teamed up with acoustician Yasuhisa to bridge the gaps between acoustics and architecture. This building is also the first multimedia concert hall in America. My favorite feature is the 7,000 foot projection wall. Multimedia features allow more interactive performances as well as enhancing traditional performances. Multimedia concerts are more appealing to children thus encouraging musical interests from an early age. Until recently I loathed going to the symphony with my family. These lucky children in Miami now have the opportunity to go to an interactive symphony and listen to Igor Stravinsky as they watch videos and illustrations related to the music! Next time you’re in Miami, be sure to check out this architectural gem out!!!!
