"Some of the most interesting work published these days" says commenter
In this week's comments update, readers are discussing a monolithic concrete concert hall in the coastal resort of Aranya in Qinhuangdao, completed by Chinese studio Vector Architects.
Called the Chapel of Music, the three-pronged concrete structure has concave walls, a curving elevated ramp and a circular auditorium with a translucent roof.

"Some of the most interesting work published these days"Â
Dezeen readers failed to reach a consensus about the structure.
Jb felt the design was outdated, commenting "the 1930s have landed in Aranya". Chelsea Dennison also wasn't a fan and suggested that the project was "poorly designed and executed". Taking a more diplomatic stance, Igor Pismensky wrote "I like the structure and interior but the ramp looks like an afterthought and not well integrated".
On the other side of the argument, commenter JEA suggested that "Vector is doing some of the most interesting work published these days, regardless of the snark". Z-dog was also in favour of the design, writing "that rooflight construction is beautiful."
