UPA Italia has been appointed to have an auditorium acoustically performed both as a cinema and as a concert hall with a highly recognizable design. To be acoustically performing, the auditorium was designed with an innovative system of acoustic revolving paneling digitally controlled by sensor with a dedicated software. The acoustic panels are covered in trevira fabric and in wood panels on the revolving faces. The organic curved shape of ceiling is developed for best possible acoustic refraction. It was designed and built with Topakustik panels mounted on curved steel ribs with 5m radius.
