Logos Tetrahedron

The Logos Tetrahedron is a concert hall in Ghent, Belgium adjacent to the Logos Foundation recording studio and offices. It has seating for 150 people and is equipped with sound and light infrastructure. Since the concert hall is in the shape of a tetrahedron, it has no straight angles and, as a result, no standing waves can occur. Acoustic waves can never amplify one another in phase and are reflected by the walls under ever changing angles.
