Editor's Pick

Featured in Frank Gehry's definitive monograph, Building Art: Life and Work of Frank Gehry.

Visitor Guide

Visitor Tip

Check what’s on in SoundScape Park—if the projection wall (Wallcast) is active, the best experience is outside with everyone else, not in a seat.

Best Photo Spot

From SoundScape Park facing the projection wall and building volumes; shoot at night during a Wallcast for glowing surfaces and crowd scale.

Access & Hours

Interior access depends on concerts/tours; tickets required for performances. SoundScape Park and outdoor Wallcast events can be free depending on the schedule.

Insider Note

This is a performance machine with a public ‘screen’ façade—architecture as broadcast infrastructure, not just a hall with nicer walls.

Time Needed

45–120 minutes

Design & Structure

FreeformFolding
Computational Process

Digitally coordinated Gehry volumes around performance acoustics, back-of-house circulation, and media projection requirements. The ‘computational’ part is resolving complex geometry with repeatable construction logic.

Materiality

White exterior surfaces (stucco/metal) to act as a projection-ready canvas; interior materials tuned to acoustics and durability.

Structural Innovation

Irregular volumes demand careful framing and vibration isolation—especially where rehearsal spaces and public circulation overlap.
