SERAPID Group, a leading supplier of lifts, quick die change and horizontal transfer systems, is pleased to announce its latest QSX Seating System installation to be unveiled at the grand opening of the Philharmonic Concert Hall at Zaryadye Park, Moscow, Russia.
The innovative SERAPID QSX system, the first system to combine curved row raked seating with a reconfigurable, automated, multi-purpose venue system, consists of twenty curved rows ranging from 23 to 30 metres, with a total of 677 seats. The smooth-operating system is fully automated and can change from a flat floor to a raked seating setup in less than 30 minutes. The system works for straight, curved or faceted tiers regardless of the number of rows, seats or configurations.
The redevelopment of the previously vacant space near the Red Square in Moscow into the stunning Zaraydye Park is the vision of a design consortium led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS + R), that includes Hargreaves & Associates and Citymakers. The park includes three performance venues, with a concert hall considered to be one of the most complex elements of the park. The integrator for the concert hall, Doka, selected SERAPID to deliver the most advanced venue technology available. The Concert Hall officially opened September 8, 2018, the Anniversary of Moscow, with performances by Anna Netrebko, Yusif Eyvazov, Ildar Abdrazakov, Albina Shagimuratova, and Juan Diego Florez accompanied by the Mariinsky Theater Orchestra. The concert was also broadcasted online.
