Our proposal for the new headquarters of the Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Kraków received an Honourable Mention in the international competition, placing among the 5 finalists out of more than 40 submitted proposals.
Developed by a multidisciplinary team led by architects Maher Matar from SBS Engineering Group and Manuel Roque from Pitagoras Group, the project is based on a strong integration between Architecture and Acoustics from the conceptual phase onwards - a determining factor in the creation of spaces dedicated to music.
Within a demanding urban context, the proposed solution organises the building around the concert hall, protected from external noise and supported by a rigorous acoustic strategy, combined with a clear and efficient functional organisation.
InAcoustics led the Acoustics project in partnership with Kahle Acoustics, contributing to the coordination between the Architecture studios and promoting an integrated approach from the earliest stages of development.
Congratulations to the entire team involved in this recognition 👏
