This is a complex building of concert hall, Museum, and shops.
To create a new type of building of concert hall, the intention is to combine several activities of cities and enfold them into one architecture with distinguished form.
When you go to concert halls and theaters, you are likely to expect quiet places where you would be engaged in listening to classic musics or viewing cinemas.  Although quiet spaces are needed for such a places, spaces around them would be invigorated when they are connected to  other spaces including museums and shops.
The spaces of concert halls and theaters are enfolded by thick exposed concrete which provides tranquil and cozy spaces detached from city, and spaces covered by glasses around it function as museums and shops.
The spaces of glasses are like urban corridors, and parts of corridors would change to spaces like agoras by pulling glasses towards to the city. Among the four peaks of the cubic of the spaces, three peaks  are to be pulled towards outside which result in the form of the building is like a quartz.
By stacking these two types of quartz, the building will be a striking silhouette which arouse activities of people and be a new symbol of the city.
