About Casa da Música

White concrete is the key element of this project, which bears the signature of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.

 

Koolhaas innovatively used this construction material, redefining the relationship between the building's interior and exterior.

 

Built with a faceted form, Casa da Música exudes solidity, while accommodating the delicate acoustics required in a work of this nature.
