Riverside revamp
Concert halls with stunning looks can become a focal point for their area - think of the Royal Albert Hall or the Sydney Opera House.
The Sage Gateshead arts centre is a key part of the regeneration strategy for the Tyneside area, and was designed as a riverside landmark and a focus for arts in the region.
The stunning shape of the sleekly curving roof was designed using powerful computer programs, so that it snugly cocoons the rehearsal and performance spaces beneath it.
