Colour-changing Concert Hall May Be More Interesting Than the Performances

A concert hall has just been unveiled in Aurillac, France that will be used for everything from sporting events to theatre performances.

Using a combination of glass bricks and fluorescent lights with colour filters, the building displays a serene colour spectrum across the entire length of the structure. All that aside, the building itself is beautiful—whether you are looking at in during the day or night. [Dezeen via io9] galleryPost('concerthall', 3, '');
