Concert Hall Acoustic Design of The Salt Silo, Tvøroyri
The Salt Silo in Tvøroyri, The Faroe Islands, is set to be turned the largest concert hall in The Faroe Islands. The Salt Silo is a large old silo with wood and concrete walls, and currently acoustics which are not suitable for musical reproduction. The project leaders require the concert hall to be...
