Copenhagen Concert Hall
There it is, like a shining blue cube.
The new Copenhagen Concert Hall is
spectacular, even from the outside.
However, the real surprise is hidden on the
inside, behind its glass bre skin:
The concert hall hangs in a steel construc-
tion, a bit like a meteorite. This is the
brainchild of the French architect Jean
Nouvel.
This concert hall is a global synthesis of
the arts. The idea to control the sound
quality through a sail above the heads of
the audience comes from Japan. Other
details were designed and manufactured in
Germany by TTC.
A real eye-catcher are the revolving doors
in the entrance area.
They revolve above gratings that look like a
huge LP made from metal. A stilised sound
carrier as an entrée! Both Danmarks Radio,
the client, and the architect were very
enthusiastic about this subtle detail.
The interior ventilation gratings and the
exterior drainage gratings are also aes-
thetically pleasing – they are of identical
design and have a sleek appearance.
Less visible but nonetheless important:
The air-conditioning gratings have canti-
lever arms, anchored in the concrete and
the oor, and thus provide a special, re-
versible subconstruction to prevent acous-
tic noise being passed into the concert hall.

In collaboration with the architect Jean
Nouvel and Danmarks Radio, the client,
TTC Timmler Technology designed reversibly
and sound acoustically:
• The substructure for the oor unit ducts
with brushed stainless steel linear
gratings for the interior areas
• The substructure for the drainage system
with brushed stainless steel linear
gratings for the exterior areas
• For the interior/exterior intersections of
the revolving doors, the swing doors and
the double-winged sliding doors a
combination of curved and straight
linear gratings made of brushed stain-
less steel with a 5mm bar spacing;
can be walked on with stiletto-healed
shoes; have a load carrying capacity of
4 KN on 100 x 100 mm
• The energy efcient Modultherm silent
gravity cooling system Modultherm for
the studio control rooms
