NEW BUILDING WITH FREE-FORM COLUMNS, ACOUSTIC CEILINGS AND DOME

Auf einen Blick:
   • location: Skopje, Nordmazedonien
   • work area: new concert hall including acoustic ceilings and free-form column construction
   • construction period: February to May 2017

Within just a few years, the Macedonian Philharmonic has developed into one of the most important cultural venues in the Balkans. Home to the orchestra of the same name, which was founded in 1944, classical music is presented in all its facets. In particular, it offers a platform for contemporary classical composers, demonstrating that this form of music connects past, present, and future.

The artistic focus is also evident in the building's architecture. The concert hall in the North Macedonian capital, Skopje, was built in 2017 and seats approximately 1,000 people. Pagitsch GesmbH played a key role in the successful construction of the new building.

AESTHETIC CLADDING IN LARGE DIMENSIONS

Free-form acoustic ceilings and acoustic panels with rounded cuts and efficient substructures ensure an unobstructed listening experience in the Macedonian Philharmonic Hall. The domed structure, with its paneling and three-dimensional beam cladding, lends the building a distinctive appearance. Branching free-form column cladding, as well as chord and beam cladding by Pagitsch, give the building a contemporary and highly aesthetic appearance.

In addition to the characteristic dome, the dimensions of the columns are also impressive. They are up to 18 meters high and have a maximum diameter of 60 meters. The construction thus ensures maximum stability, but also a monumental appearance that underscores the status of the Macedonian Philharmonic Hall as a cultural center of Skopje. Also striking is the contrast between the bright exterior areas of the Macedonian Philharmonic Hall and the concert hall itself, where wood paneling – also created by an Austrian company – dominates.

PAGITSCH – INTERNATIONALLY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT PARTNER

With this project in North Macedonia, Pagitsch GesmbH has demonstrated, not for the first time and not for the last time, that it can also handle international projects reliably and successfully. Clients in a wide variety of sectors benefit from the modular construction method used by this leading Lungau company, which places virtually no limits on the innovative spirit and architectural creativity in free-form construction. An additional advantage of this concept is the time and cost savings in transporting and installing the components. The Macedonian Philharmonic Hall is a prime example: the extensive project was completed in just three months in May 2017.
