Description
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Takeshi Tornier, AIA, Architect and Director of Snohetta’s New York Studio. Snohetta has offices worldwide. They discuss St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s Powell Hall in St. Louis, Missouri.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Snøhetta’s design for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s Powell Hall expansion reinterprets a century-old landmark through an architectural language of continuity and contrast. A series of canted masonry shells define the addition, their inclined planes and arched apertures referencing the rhythm and proportion of the existing structure without direct imitation.
