Prince Mahidol Hall

Mahidol University College of Music is home to the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, which takes residency at Prince Mahidol Hall. The 2,000-seat theater is a multi-functional space that hosts a wide range of performances and events, from symphony orchestras to operas to graduation ceremonies. Conceived through the vision of Architects 49, the building features a sound-proof roof that, in reflection of the university’s expertise in medicine, takes on a repetitive pattern inspired by “the beauty of the human skeleton” as well as the sloping roofs of traditional Thai houses. The structure also resembles the Kan Phai Mahidol, the symbolic plant of the university.
