UPA Italia has been appointed to have an auditorium acoustically performed both as a cinema and as a concert hall and for a modern aesthetic design. The project has an innovative system of acoustic revolving paneling digitally controlled by sensors and dedicated software to change the acoustic configuration of the hall, designed in cooperation with Ing. Brugola. The organic shape of ceiling is developed for best possible acoustic refraction. The curved suspended ceiling was designed and built with Topakustik panels mounted on curved steel ribs with a fixed geometry of 5m radius.
