Logos Tetrahedron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Logos Tetrahedron is the concert hall in Ghent, Belgium adjecent to the Logos Foundation recording studio and offices. It has seats for 150 people and is equipped with sound and light infrastructure. The concert hall is shaped as a tetrahedron, this because this shape has no straigth angles and as a result no standing waves can occur. Acoustic waves can never amplify one another in phase and are reflected by the walls under everchanging angles.
The hall is exclusively used for contemporary and experimental music, such as electronic music and computer music. There are about 65 concerts a year, most organized by the Logos Foundation.
The concert hall was built in 1990 by Godfried-Willem Raes and the Logos workgroup using steel, concrete and plate-metal. The building took 1 year and the hall was opened in 1991 with a three days long festival.
