Frontside of the KKL in Lucerne 

The KKL Luzern was built in record time, five years, between 1995 and 2000. The work of French architect Jean Nouvel and American acoustician Russell Johnson replaced Armin Meili’s (1933/34) building. The construction is divided into three parts and made up of the Concert Hall, a multifunctional hall (the Lucerne
Hall) as well as the Convention Center where the Lucerne Museum of Art is also located.
In the few years since its construction, the KKL Luzern has acquired an international reputation.
This is thanks to the exceptional architecture and by the fact that it houses, from the acoustical point of view, one of the best concert halls in the world.
