The Busan Opera House bridges the new linear urban park and the city with the harbor. The sculptural form of the opera sits delicately on this landscape freeing up the ground plain to maximize open park area and to create a new civic space at the harbor’s edge. The visitors’ movement through the site is directed between the opera forms by paths and public spaces formed by the spatial distribution of unique “islands” of gardens, arbors, ponds and greens. Paths are indirect maximizing the visitors’ engagement with the landscape and creating multiple vanishing points and diverse spatial layering/framing.
