The competition is looking for a design-led team that can conceive and deliver a design for a new, world-class concert venue in the heart of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site.
Colander Associates has announced a competition to design a home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The aim is to create an acoustic to rival any other classical venue in the world and adapt and serve the many and assorted performers at the Edinburgh International Festival.
The winning team must be able to demonstrate that it is able to inspire and convince diverse stakeholders and that it can work collaboratively with a world-class acoustician. It must also have the expertise to work in a World Heritage Site and show it can steer a path through hugely complex and possibly conflicting functional and technical requirements.
