The new building will serve as a "home" platform for the New World Symphony, a higher music school, which is known, among other things, for its widespread use of the latest IT technologies in the learning process.

The structure looks rather restrained from the outside, as the curvilinear volumes of sheet metal, typical of Gehry's work, are placed inside the lobby, separated from the street by a glass wall. Around the concert hall will be laid out a park with an area of 0.8 hectares - also designed by Frank Gehry.

The building will be relatively small - only 10,000 sq. m of area, and the hall itself will be designed for 700 spectators. However, it will be adapted for webcasting and recording of concerts, as well as 360-degree video projections.

The top floor of the building will house a music library and a conductor's studio, as well as 26 individual rehearsal rooms and six for joint rehearsals of several musicians. It will use Internet2 technology, which will allow students from different parts of the world to study together.

The building, designed by Frank Gehry, should enhance the international prestige of the New World Symphony, but an equally important reason for the collaboration with this architect was the highest quality acoustics for the school leadership at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, built by Gehry in Los Angeles in 2003. Miami Beach is now hoping to get the same strong performance. At the same time, since we are often talking about modern music, it is difficult to get the perfect sound right away: in the Disney hall, the acoustic panels had to be completely rewired before the desired result was obtained.

Project budget - $ 200 million; the concert hall is due to open in 2010.
