It could be said, without the very least fear, that the “Casa da Música” is an historical, cultural and physical milestone to the world. Its special conception, “sui generis” and contemporary, refers to the new ways to be and to interact with culture in XXI century.
To the mastery with which Rem Koolhaas created this architectural monument spaces, joins the excellence in each detail execution.
This publication tells us about a part of that basic, and sometime anonymous, universe: the one of men, materials and solutions that gave to Porto city and to Portugal, the possibility of treasuring this excellent architectural work that, for any people, seems like a gigantic meteorite and the noisy impact of its fall.
We share with you, a different vision of this work: a trip through the “invisible” solutions research process that allowed to make possible this Rem Koolhaas new dream and that permit us to enjoy, as a whole, this already anthological creation.
