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.
