The Sage
The Sage
The Sage is a musical center that adores musical
education, conferences and musical performances in in its tree different
buildings constructed inside the same roof for different purposes, the first
hall having space for 1700 people, the second one with 450 seats and the third
smaller one to be used for training and rehearsal purposes. All the three
buildings seem to be one but they are designed entirely differently from one
another, and are also separated by a pathway between them to prevent noise
disturbances and avoid vibrations between the walls. The biggest hall is
constructed to be perfect with acoustics and it also has other features like,
its roof can be raised or lowered to suit different types of the musical
performances, the second one with 450 seats is one of the few 10 sided stages
in the world and rest of the building is used for music creation and has 20
different sound proof rooms for teaching music to the interested students.
The building resides on the southern bank of the
River Tyne in Gates head, England, and was opened for public in 2004. This
ultra-modern musical center was designed by Foster & Partners; Acoustics by
Arup, Structural Engineering by Buro Happold, and Building Services by Mott
MacDonald.
