Dubbed the Chapel of Sound, this particular venue will be situated in a valley that is home to sections of the Ming dynasty section of the Great Wall of China. In keeping with its surroundings, the Chapel of Sound concert venue is being built using a combination of concrete and [locally sourced rocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-rocks-visitor-centre), which will enable it to perfectly blend into its surroundings. However, its interior spaces are carefully crafted to provide for [optimal acoustics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edward-and-joyce-linde-music-building) and a consummate concert experience. Set to be completed in late 2019, the Chapel of Sound concert venue is a fine example of architecture borrowing from nature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Seamless Landscape Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop architectural designs that seamlessly blend with rugged landscapes. - **Locally Sourced Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create construction methods that utilize locally sourced rocks and materials for eco-friendly and sustainable architecture. - **Optimal Acoustics Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate new techniques and technologies for crafting interior spaces that offer exceptional acoustics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unique designs that harmonize with natural surroundings and incorporate sustainable materials. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-conscious construction methods that minimize environmental impact and utilize locally sourced materials. - **Music and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create cutting-edge concert venues with state-of-the-art acoustic designs to enhance the audience's entertainment experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ring-Shaped Open-Air Amphitheaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luhu-ring-of-starlight.md) - [Everchanging Water-Based Theaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yichang-grand-theatre.md) - [Airborne Concert Halls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arka-nova.md) - [Landscape-Concealed Cultural Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaohu-natural-and-cultural-centre.md) - [Scandinavian Stone Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-chamber.md) - [Perorated Brickwork Music Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gong.md) - [Stone-Like Discreet Glass Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones.md) - [Culture-Accommodating Quarries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultural-space.md) - [Sculptural Cultural Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aydc-public-art-centre.md)
