Zaha Hadid: JS Bach Chamber Music Hall

The JS Bach Chamber Music Hall was a temporary piece of architecture built for the Manchester International Festival in 2009.  The temporary music hall was located in the Manchester Art Gallery building and was a site where soloists were able to play for the audience.

The structure was made up of suspended ribbon with acoustic panels inside that allowed the audience to better hear the music being played. I liked this Zaha Hadid design because it is so different than what I would expect a music hall to look like, even a temporary one.
