Competition project

Inspired by the expressive scores of the patron saint and his baroque curls, I developed a spatial form that moves with momentum from the airspace of the gallery level to the top of the Georg Friedrich Handel Hall, a room glazed at a 47° angle and over 11 meters high. The 16 elements of this metal surface opening, created from a circular surface divided by tangential circles, form a spatial vortex whose smallest elements represent the city’s coat of arms. In the interrelationship with the spatial levels of the hall, a complex sequence of vistas and superimpositions is created, which distinguish the place as a center of communication and contemplation and put it under tension.
