Whenever improvised music is played, people form a circle – this simple consideration lies at the basis of the ideabehind Hans Scharoun’s design of a central terraced concert hall, known as vineyard. Established in 1963, the new home of the Berlin Philharmonic is not only one of the best known concert halls of the world, but also a prototype architectural solution as the vineyard configuration has been adopted and developed in many important subsequent concert hall designs since the 1960s. The article is an attempt to present the specifics of the project and the various contexts that influenced its shape. The subject of discussion are the earlier traditions of the concert hall and the democratic turn made by Hans Scharoun, the situation of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra during the Third Reich and shortly after the war, political and social conditions in Berlin in the 1950s and 60s, controversies and obstacles to implementation of the design, acoustic challenges associated with central terraced configuration and the growing importance of the visual perception of music.
