china based jian junkai + huang jinqi have submitted a proposal for the ‘busan opera house‘ international design competition for busan, south korea. projecting into the harbor, this building will serve as a performing arts center designed to house high class operas and simultaneously promote an increase in artistic activities in the city. different scales of concert arenas are introduced ranging from public open areas to more intimate spaces, as well as the grand opera house auditorium welcoming all kinds of performers including ballet dancers, opera singers, musical goups, street dancers and jazz musicians. the intended result of the program’s flexibility is to provide a stage for all individuals to present their talent to the spectators. the subsequent outcome is to break away from the preconception that event attendance is reserved for the privileged, but instead open to all social classes.
view of exterior
the triangular footprint of the building is oriented with an open face towards the direction of the sea accentuating the impressive view. a ramp accessing the podium level extends to the water and turns into waterfront decks with unobstructed sight lines. from the ramp, visitors may access the main entrance, public plaza and outdoor auditorium. the outdoor arena and surrounding green space will provide a venue for artists and performers to display their craft, as well as a place for the public to meet, congregate and enjoy the natural surroundings. an interior ‘music street’ with cafeterias, jazz bars and clubs under the podium level runs between the opera house and the multipurpose theater. additional program include an educational center, galleries, children’s playroom and elevated restaurant providing an all inclusive setting for visitors.

Nothing but visual gratification. The design is shoe horned into the unusable shape like it is completely secondary in the process of architecture. the diagrams are naive, an attempt to put discipline on Nonsense……..If anyone knows about the ‘Turbo smooth’ modifier in 3ds max, you’ll know how easy this was to design!!!
finally a better submission 🙂
Well that looks realistic
The problem is now everybody thinks if a form is fluid it’s zaha hadid’s… I think this form is way better and more sophisticated. Architecture evolves from past shapes by people pushing boundaries. Imagine the first architect to use a square form, everyone else is seen as copying his style? Stop trying to drag industry leaders down, I like it.. That’s my 1 cents worth
Yeah, it’s like Guangzhou Opera house..
I feel the window has a little less,lead the indoor has not enough sunlight,waste the energy….lol..But because of that ,it looks very cool.Is it the Moebius Strip?……btw,it just like ZAHA style,not copy of Ghanzou opera house ….
looks like a swirl, interesting

Far to complicated
genius at its best!
