Proposal made by the
twin brothers of sanzpont
[arquitectura] for Busan Opera House Competition. The
concept of design is based on the philosophy of Korea, the
balance of opposites, the Um-Yang. The fundamental idea is to
create an iconic building that represents the culture in which
it is immersed, to remind the native people where they come from
in order to promote this philosophy to the outside world.
Materializing this ancient philosophy in a cutting edge building
connects the past with the present, giving long life to a
culture that must be projected into the future. The vision of
this building is the integration with its natural and urban
environment, besides being spectacular, create public spaces and
nature, respecting and helping the environment, a sustainable
design that promote a city to the world.

The LED RGB lighting
glows inside a double layer of Nebular Gradient
Silkscreened ETFE. The printed texture gradients the
opacity of the skin to control sunlight and lighting. By
controlling the intensity and the RGB gradients of the LEDs, the
skin creates Energy Flow in Motion. The skin represents the
unity of opposites that compose the cosmos.
Sustainable Design
: Minimizing Carbon
Footprint
The skin
incorporates Photovoltaic Solar Panels capturing energy from the
sun to generate and supply electricity from a clean and
sustainable energy. The Extensive Green Roof helps to provide
oxygen and ambient temperature regulation, providing a natural
insulation skin on the top of the building. LED technology glow
the skin of the building at night, creating art with light of
low energy consumption emphasizing the fluid and singular skin.
The Ventilated and Shading Façade reduces interior solar
radiation by shading the internal curtain wall, and the diffuse
solar light enters interior space through the gradient
opacities. Rainwater is collected through the entire roof and
stored to be used in bathroom equipment and landscape
irrigation. Grey water is treated and re-used for landscape
irrigation.
Urban Design : Maximizing Public
Space
The building is
designed to be passable inside and out, becomes an urban element
deployed from the site as a bridge to its top as a balcony. The
Green Roof extends the gardens and recreational areas of the
city, increase the natural landscape and invites you to rise to
the top of the building creating an Urban Park. The rising
walkway increases pedestrian paths in the area and invites you
to rise to the top while enjoying panoramic views, then go down
and continue a site walk. The terraces at different levels
generate scenic viewpoints. The green surface along the roof
creates natural seating steps for the contemplation of aquatic
and urban events. The exterior urban areas of the site are
designed according to Korean Philosophy; the building is
surrounded by 4 plazas: Ri/Fire, Gon/Earth, Gam/Water and
Geon/Metal. The design also incorporates a Water Balcony as part
of the pedestrian path; this element provides a little more
interaction between users and their natural environment.
