The Sage is a large music centre on the Quayside of Gateshead that was built in 2004 for bands, orchestras, opera singers and every type of music genre. It was purposely made to have great accoustics for music inside and therefore when you hear music being played inside it is an incredible experience.
The Sage was built by Foster and Partners and is a beautiful building. When it was first being built it was questioned and picked up on alot-the shape and sheer space that this building was taking up on the riverside i think worried some people but as it started to piece together some came around to The Sage and its design. I think it flows into the river almost, matching the surrounding architecture well. It brings a good modern feel to the area.
However some really dislike The Sage calling it various names and comparing it to things such as a slug. Everyone's opinion is entitled, i think it's great to see a building that stands out abit and i certainly don't think it's ugly or animal like at all.
