This illustrated guide to 100 of the world's most important concert halls and opera houses examines their architecture and engineering and discusses their acoustical quality as judged by conductors and music critics. The descriptions and photographs will serve as a valuable guide for today's peripatetic performers and music lovers.

The photographs (specially commissioned for this book) and architectural drawings (all to the same scale) together with modern acoustical data on each of the halls provide a rich and unmatched resource on the design of halls for presenting musical performances. Together with the technical appendices, the data and drawings will serve as an invaluable reference for architects and engineers involved in the design of spaces for the performance of music. Leo Beranek is an internationally recognized authority in acoustics who has consulted on the design of dozens of important auditoriums around the World. He has received the highest honors of the Acoustical Society of America and of the Audio Engineering Society and has just been awarded the US National Medal of Science at the White House.

Summary:
From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. Opening in fall 2003, the hall is destined to be a new architectural landmark, generating as much excitement as Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which its design predates. This book, which includes an introduction by Gehry, traces the history of the hall from its inception through the architect selection process, construction, and completion of the building, which is recorded by architectural photographer Grant Mudford. Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, recounts his first impressions of Gehry and the models for the new building in an essay that also defines what makes a great orchestra and a great concert hall.

Flamand de naissance, Gruyaert sait depuis longtemps que sa terre natale est « un endroit visuellement intéressant dans lequel il se passe des choses incongrues ». Son intuition très subtile de la couleur alliée à sa capacité à retranscrire l’essence des lieux sont perceptibles dans ce large corpus d’images à la fois « historiales et épicuriennes » comme le souligne l'écrivain Brice Matthieussent. Sens du grotesque, du sarcasme, banalité, mais aussi émotion et une certaine tendresse s’esquissent au fil d’images de carnaval, de processions religieuses, de cafés-concerts, de petites localités hérissées de maisons en briques... Quatre porfolios d’images en noir et blanc, partie plus méconnue de l'œuvre du photographe, viennent ponctuer, sur un papier différent, cette immersion visuelle de ce voyage au plat pays.

Exciting and innovative concepts from the designers provoke and potentiate the mix of artistic end in itself and economic persuasion that underlies PR events like product presentations, pop concerts, and cultural exhibitions. The results not only convince potential customers they are a must for everyone involved in organizing big international events. Happening! surveys thirty projects by international companies and design firms including Nike Brand Design and 3deluxe and devotes eight pages to each, with photographs, drawings, and texts by prominent authors.

Summary:
The piazza San Marco, one of the most famous and instantly recognizable townscapes in the West, if not the world, has been described as a stage set, as Europe’s drawing room, as a painter’s canvas. This book traces the changing shape and function of the piazza, from its beginnings in the ninth century to its present day ubiquity in the Venetian, European, as well as global imagination. Through its long history, the Piazza San Marco has functioned as civic space that was used for such varied activities as public meetings; animal-baiting; executions; state processions; meat and produce markets; a performance venue for rock concerts; as well as, more recently, a cafe to enjoy a leisurely Campari. Constantly alert to the question of function, this book recreates not only rituals of the past but also activities of the present.
