Crashing Waves, Tongyeong Music Hall
Crashing Waves is an original unbuilt design with the objective of creating a sustainable performing arts center for the South Korean coastal city Tongyeong to commemorate the Korean maestro of modern music, Isang Yun.
Designed to resound the intensity and vibrancy of Isang Yun’s music, the concert hall comprises two elements: the upper level, with its metaphorical frozen undulation of water waves, and the podium, which at ground level begins as a landform that mimics the ocean. The calm “water” at the base builds into a spatial crescendo and culminates in the vertical glass elements defining the lobby. The visual result is one of abstracted waves crashing together.
The 1,300-seat concert hall is located on an ocean side bluff overlooking the Tongyeong Harbor, commanding views of the downtown district of Tongyeong. The site sits sixty feet above the Harbor flanked by a cliff and steep slopes. The Hall is a five-minute walk to a ferry stop adjacent to the marina, and to a bus system connecting to downtown.
With the total area of 14,377 square meters, over 75% of the hall space is dedicated to the concert and recital halls, lecture rooms, a memorial hall to Isang Yun, and public spaces. The design focused on five key efforts in sustainable design: maintaining a sustainable site, maximizing water efficiency, recycling materials, and optimizing energy performance and indoor environmental quality. Tongyeong retains a mild oceanic climate year-round, allowing natural temperate regulation on the site.
