Text description by
The Busan Opera House is set to transform the opera from a passive playground for the few to an interactive and democratic space for the many. A place to meet and be together in a common cultural context. With a soft wrapping, a publicly accessible rooftop and entrances from both the park and seaside, its design opens the building up to the public in a continuous welcoming gesture.
Located on reclaimed land on the Busan’s waterfront, the new opera house will convert a historically industrial area into a lively public space in the city. The open and inviting building will mark the entrance into a new era of contemporary architecture reflecting values of equality and democracy.

About
Snøhetta:
Snøhetta is a transdisciplinary, dialogue-driven practice including architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, art, product design, graphic and digital design, often integrating a combination of interests across our projects. We share our name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach. Snøhetta first significant commission was in 1989 for Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reviving the ancient library in Alexandria, Egypt. This was followed by commissions for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City. Since those early projects, many other internationally acclaimed works have been realized around the globe. source: snohetta.com
