Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin, Germany.
Home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,
the building is acclaimed for both its acoustics and its architecture.
The Philharmonie lies on the south edge of the city's Tiergarten
and just west of the former Berlin Wall,
an area that for decades suffered from isolation and drabness
but that today offers ideal centrality, greenness, and accessibility.
Its cross street and postal address is Herbert-von-Karajan-Strase,
named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor.
The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum,
can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station.
Hans Scharoun designed the hall,
which was constructed over the years 1960-1963.
It is a singular building, asymmetrical and tentlike,
with the main concert hall in the shape of a pentagon.
The seating offers excellent positions from which to view the stage
through the irregularly increasing height of the seat rows.
The stage is at the center of the hall, with seats surrounding it on all sides.
The Philharmonie is highly regarded for the quality of its acoustics.
Its typical vineyard style seat arrangement was first introduced through this architecture
and became a model for other concert halls including the Denver concert hall,
the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and the Sydney Opera House.
