SHAMLIAN: WESLEY: Walt Disney Concert Hall

For my building project i have chosen the Walt Disney Concert hall, located in downtown Los Angeles, California. This structure, built by Frank Gehry, opened on October 23, 2003. Because this hall had to meet sonic expectations it took a lot of time to complete. Construction on this building began in 1996 and the groundbreaking ceremony was held in 1999. Even after these three years Frank Gehry took more time to perfect the sound quality of the concert hall and the entire building was complete in 2003.

Initially when researching twenty first century architecture i chose this building because of its connection to Walt Disney. But after researching further I chose this building because of its extremely unique structure. The exterior of this building looks more like a sculpture than a building. It is visually interesting and appealing, it serves several different functions and, it is structurally sound.
I am very enthusiastic about this project and to learn more about this building and how it was designed and built.
