WAHAG Studio shared with us their competition entry in the international ideas competition to establish a design for the Busan Opera House, which is expected to begin construction in 2014. The opera house will include a variety of facilities that will foster a wide range of artistic activities all the while being accessible to the city’s citizens. The grand scale of this project will be suitable for Busan’s status as an international city. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The form consists of three major forms which are the opera house, multipurpose hall, cafe and library zone. The three forms have the same profile line as seen in cross section, but in different heights according to the activity of each area. These profiles are connected together creating the form in the shape of a mountain and with the form of three dancing birds around a circle, combining dancing, singing, and performing in one building.
