The Long Night of TIME. The Elbe Philharmonic Hall, intended to be a new landmark in the Hanseatic city has a long history of suffering behind them. Now imagine the first time its planners a public discussion: The world famous Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron speak with peer Teuwsen, head of the new Hamburg-sites, over the still undiscovered potential of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall, problems with the implementation of the project and the future urban planning. What such "flagship projects" for the region mean?And such Buildings without exploding costs and political pressure at all possible?
