Walt Disney Concert Hall (concert hall; Frank Gehry (American architect, born 1929 in Canada) ; 1999-2003)

Note: Noted for a striking exterior and intimate interior, optimized for its function to bring music to the city of Los Angeles. Architect Frank Gehry designed it "from the inside out." The curving stainless steel skin of the building’s exterior resembles silver sails, the curves echo the billows in the auditorium and play off the bowed cornice of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, forging a link between new and old. Inside the warm, Douglas fir-lined interior are 2,265 seats that are steeply raked and surround the stage. The stage, made from Alaskan yellow cedar, provides resonance. Located in: Los Angeles, California, United States
