Yekaterinburg Philharmonic Hall
To activate the historical and cultural significance of music in the city of Yekaterinburg, a design competition to create a new concert hall was announced in 2018. The top three architectural concepts were recently selected by the jury committee, awarding first place to Zaha Hadid Architects, and the two runner-up positions to Robert Gutowski Architects and Alvisi Kirimoto respectively. Despite selecting ZHA's proposal as the project laureate, all three projects are still in contention as the feasibility studies are ongoing. For the snowy climate of this Russian city, the buildability of the design continues to be under debate.
