This proposal, by architects Eirini Androutsopoulou & Dimitra Maniaki, defines a new icon and a strong identity for the city of Busan and drives a direct link between Korea’s past and Korea’s future image. In order to do so, the proposed scheme describes the idea of the Korean garden within the building’s shell and the new Opera House within the Korean garden. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The Korean garden is linked to the trees and to the water, but it also concerns the tranquility of the ambiance and the strong presence of water within defined boundaries. In the proposal, the boundaries of the artificial, man-made construction lower to the water, in a manner that visitors can have an immediate experience of nature.
