We algorithmized this process and managed to issue changes made by acoustics in time,” says Alexander Ponomarev. “Making changes to the layout manually is an incredibly difficult task. All the dies have different shapes, and their sequence is not repeated in the finish. It consists of mahogany triangles protruding from the wall. In this environment, the most random, non-repeating microrelief of the hall walls were modeled, which was required by acoustics specialists. Grasshopper was used to design the hall’s finish. The models were developed in Novosibirsk and integrated into Archicad.
The load-bearing structures were designed in their own software. One team worked on the complex’s shell, the “bark” another team developed the façade a third team designed the building’s interiors and technologies and a fourth team worked on the hall and associated mechanization.
The production and assembly of the organ took two years, and it will take another six months to set it up – which is only a year less than the concert hall itself was designed and built! TeamworkĪccording to Vladimir Plotkin, 20 people worked on the Teamwork project in Archicad. And instead of a glass wall, the largest organ in Europe was installed, designed by the French organ company Muhleisen specifically for the great hall, which takes into account all the necessary parameters: volume, acoustics, and architecture. But then it was decided to abandon the avant-garde solution – the glass was detrimental to the hall’s acoustics.Īs a result, a media screen appeared behind the stage instead of a transparent window. It is noteworthy that in the original version of the project, the back wall of the great hall had to be completely made of glass this way, the audience could see Moscow, and visitors of the park could watch what is happening inside. The test simulation of acoustics took place in Rhino – this was a requirement of Yasuhisa Toyota and Nagata Acoustics.” The monolith, walls, and trusses are designed in Archicad. That is, the shell of the hall that we now see was modeled in Rhino. And curved surfaces – the hall is built on smooth biomorphic fluid forms - were modeled in Rhino and then imported. He also notes that Rhino was actively used in the design of the hall: “Sketches and design documentation were performed in Archicad.
Flexibility is a big advantage of Archicad. We used Layer Combinations to show different phases of transformations. Behind the stage there are roll-out stands that can fold, expanding its space. The orchestra pit has three positions: it can rise to the stalls and to the stage plane. Thanks to the unique engineering equipment, the stalls in the great hall can be folded away in only 40 minutes, turning into a flat floor. In addition to the ceiling solutions, an important element of the multi-genre hall is the lower mechanization. The great hall of the Zaryadye Concert Hall. As a result, solutions were found to adapt the stage space to any genre. In the theater hall – on the contrary - there is a stage box with mechanisms for changing scenery,” says Alexander Ponomarev, the senior architect of the great hall project. “In an acoustic hall, the surfaces of the stage area should be reflective, dense, and there should be a ceiling. The great hall must meet several requirements at once: not only to have excellent acoustics for classical music concerts, but also to be able to accept modern projects of various genres.
