Major Music Venue Architectural Projects from around the world: Contemporary Built Environment.

post updated 15 November 2024

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Concert Hall Architecture. We aim to include the most significant and interesting Concert Hall buildings and designs.

We cover completed Concert Hall buildings, opera houses and music complexes, new building designs and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary Music Hall buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
