Today AD welcomes back architect Valery Augustin to tour Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles. Designed in 1987 by Frank Gehry, music runs through the veins of this building. A unique steel exterior houses an acoustically perfect auditorium designed by Yasuhisa Toyota and is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Join Valery as he takes an in-depth look at how the concert hall pioneered new design techniques and became a true gift to the people of Los Angeles.

@galaxy_mosaic3587 10 месяцев назад

that was really great content (super thorough) and I enjoyed the presentation by the architect. it felt informative yet also personable. I also had an opportunity to perform in the concern hall. although I cannot speak to the pitch perfect aspects, the acoustics are very fine. I could hear someone coughing in the audience (middle of the mezzanine) sounded like they were just a few feet away. I also love that rose fountain in the garden and was delighted to hear the story of its origin. thank you

I always tell people "There are no bad seats at the Walt Disney Concert Hall" and "It's like the musicians are wired directly into your brain". Seeing Ellie Goulding and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra here recently was a sonic feast.

I'm very glad this architect took us inside. On many of the other episodes, they just show the outside. (The presentations are always fabulous, but you're missing half the design if you just look outside!)

In violin making, spruce (picea abies, picea armonica) is used for the upper soundboard and maple for the ribs and back. I'm not aware of the use of Douglas fir, perhaps they used it here for the wooden pipes of the organ.

Since when are instruments in the violin family made with Douglass Fir? I mean it’s probably possible but it’s not native to southern Europe where the viol family of instruments emerged

@riccardosabatini353 10 месяцев назад

Normally spruce (picea abies, picea armonica) is used for the upper soundboard and maple for the sides and back, I never heard about Douglas fir in violin making. But, who knows? Everything is possible...

@Youften 9 месяцев назад

carpet and seating cushion designs are the only things imo that i would get rid of. thats just me though, obviously for historical purposes it should still be preserved somehow, but they are the only element that feel very dated and cheap, while the rest is timeless and elegantly rich. in a way that makes me like it a bit, the audacity of doubling down on that design and covering the seating with it haha but nah, if it were me, it keep some of it for historical reasons and maybe frame a piece of it and get some more of that stone tile or another carpet.. idk interesting video nevertheless

Acoustics can't be perfect. Acoustics can be excellent or ideal, but not perfect. Different halls with excellent or ideal acoustics can sound very different, but none of them can be called perfect.

@gridley 10 месяцев назад

The multiple rounded interior surfaces in this bldg's auditorium don't fit the simple shoebox design associated with the historically, acoustically great halls of the world. Such a format (requiring modern engineering software & fabrication) technically wasn't possible generations ago. Although the Great Pyramids of Egypt, etc, were admittedly built centuries ago.

A room that is "welcoming to all Angelinos" and "closed to everyone except doners who have given $185,000 or more" is classic California. Truly representative of liberalism in the United States.
