Check out this extraordinary design for a temporary performance space for the Munich Opera Festival 2010. Vienna-based architecture firm COOP HIMMELBAU presented the design  to be installed in the city’s Marstallplatz called the “Pavillion 21 MINI Opera Space.”

According to Artinfo, the approximately 6,000-square-foot pavilion is anchored by a sloping, trapezoidal component, but characterized by an outcropping of pyramidal structures that have been “generated parametrically through the overlay of sound frequencies from Jimi Hendrix’s song ‘Purple Haze’ and Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni.”
