A famous steel construction made on metal structures is known as the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Constructions of this kind have a special design and have become very popular in the last hundred years. They managed to push the imagination of architects and builders beyond the limits. Steel <\/a>is ecological, durable, requires low maintenance, has affordable prices and can be adapted to different design models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famous steel construction – Walt Disney Concert Hall – Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is the fourth hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, inaugurated on October 24, 2003. This building has a special design, being made by Frank Gehry – one of the most important contemporary architects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its architecture (like Gehry’s other works) received mixed reviews. While the acoustics are generally considered better than its predecessor, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exterior of the building is clad in stainless steel<\/a>. All the curves that Gehry designed made it a very difficult building to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This building is a continuous contradiction not only between internal symmetry and external asymmetry, but also between closed volumes (interior) and permeable spaces (exterior) that create a spatial tension. The outdoor spaces also aim to create a dialogue between the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Music Center located opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The architect and his team had to use an aerospace software – CATIA (Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application) to join the steel beams. The project was a historic one. It required intense work, so many of the workers left their signature on the steel beams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure of the building consists of eight architectural elements that include 10,000 tons of construction steel<\/strong>. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is located above a five-story parking lot. The total cost of the impressive construction was $274 million.<\/p>\n
