Wimbledon plans £100m Frank Gehry arts venue

摘要

Frank Gehry has been signed up to create designs for a £100m concert hall in the south-west London suburb of Wimbledon. Former film-maker Anthony Wilkinson, who founded the Wimbledon International Music Festival, said the 1,250- seat venue would create a musical “centre of excellence” on a council-owned car park in the borough of Merton An admirer of Gehry’s New World Centre in Miami, Wilkinson contacted Gehry about his Wimbledon Concert Hall vision – and received a rapid response.
