Welcome
he feasibility study for the new London concert hall is nally out. Reading some
initial reactions, one thing became clear: some journalists won’t even make time to
read the summary of the report, let alone the full 270 pages. And to spare you the
bother too, the stand-out news is that we’re no longer talking about just a hall, but a ‘centre
for music’, ‘a new idea of what a concert hall should be’, ‘delivering high-quality spaces for
education, digital and commercial activity’. ere’s an emphasis throughout on the education
aspect, engagement and the idea of being ‘welcoming’ and ‘porous’. e latter is report-speak
for a building which you’re just as likely to have a eeting interaction with – passing through,
grabbing a co ee, a convenient meeting place – as you are to have a formal one. Most music
venues, from the O2 arena to the Royal Opera House, would be considered non-porous,
because only ticket holders tend to enter. e Southbank Centre, on the other hand, would
qualify as porous, for all the obvious reasons – and don’t let your bah-humbug aversion to
seasonal tat markets colour your judgment on this.
Of course some people are furious that troupes of wi- hungry hipsters seem to be running
their internet start-ups from the Royal Festival Hall so there’s nowhere to sit in the interval
of a concert they’ve paid good money for. Hard luck.
e di culty of the Museum of London’s site, described at the time of its completion as
‘space le over a er planning’, further complicated by the abandoned tra c segregation pro-
gramme which le both inadequate walkways and a dystopic street level, is considered in a
lot of detail in the report, down to the possibility of knocking down the 1920s Ironmonger’s
Hall which currently occupies a prime slice of it. Another notable fact is that the drawings
de nitely feature a shoe-box shaped thing – that’s for you fans of good acoustics.
e headline gure is the estimated £278m that it would cost to build the thing (pinch of
salt taken), but it’s worth also agging up the £5.5m already earmarked for the next stage of
planning. at’s money spent before a single brick is laid – or whatever it is they intend to
make it out of. Something porous, presumably.
Meanwhile, Englanders are celebrating a minor increase in Arts Council funding as well as
music hubs getting to keep their annual £75m – even though cuts to local councils are likely
to mean a severe stranglehold on funds and facilities. Muted celebrations then.
