The Elbphilharmonie



The Elbphilharmonie is as you can tell by it's name a philharmonie. In fact one of the largest and most acoustically advanced philharmonies in the world. It is located in Hamburg, Germany. Created by famous german architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron and opened in January 2017. The first thing that catches your eye is the elevation of the building. It is mostly made of glass with many knobs on the glass panels. Whole construction stands on the old warehouse to preserve historic building and blend old design with something fresh. 
You have to admit they succeeded with doing that. Outside look isn't the only thing that is special about this creation. The interior is in fact so futuristic that you probably feel like you're in some sort of alien base when you walk in. From the acoustic point of view it is even more amazing. Designers made a huge effort to make it a top-notch concert hall. Here you can see how weird the main room looks like. It isn't just for aperance but mostly for the best possible quality of sound.
It must be truly stunning to experience a great concert in there and I think many artists would love to perform inside this architectural masterpiece.

    I understand the orchestra are sitting where the piano can be seen, which means they are totally exposed, with part of the audience sitting behind their back. Not sure I'd like that being a musician.

Reflection #3

Sports have been with us pretty much since the begining of our civilization but now became bigger than ever before. Nowdays we can watch a game of football for example that is being played tousands of kilometers away. That's amazing  because we are able to expirience sports like never until now and that's cool. But to me what is cooler is the phenomenon of cheering for sombody or some team. I think it is special because we don't know those people in person, we don't know who they really are like but still, we take time out of our day to spend it watching them compete with others. This is in my opinion the true magic of sports. Not the competition or the fact that you can win something etc. But the fact that it truly unites people from all countries, parts of the globe, from different cultures and religions. It just doesn't have any boundaries and that is what makes it so magical and special.

Does art have to be beautiful?

Does art have to be beautiful? In my opinion it doesn't. I think that some works of art just can not be beautiful. For example there are some incredible movies that are considered art but can't be beautiful because you can't really call a movie about some hard topics like war or murder beautiful. Another thing is that some pieces of art aren't made to look nice but for example to make people think about something or show them how our world changes. This is why In my opinion art doesn't always have to be beautiful.

How Ice might help us Find Extraterrestrial Life

The video I decided to watch is about looking for alien life in our solar system. The things we look for however are rather strange. Here on earth ice usually means no life but on some moons it could possibly cover huge underground oceans. If that's true and on Europa or Enceladus we'll find liquid water which is one of the most important conditions for life to exist we will be very close to finding out if there is life outside our home planet. We've been unlucky in finding any extraterrestrial  life as of today. If you heat water to 100 degrees celsius it will start turning into vapor . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGsPetwqa_o
