Opera House for Busan

Outstanding environment: sea and mountains — features that are reflected in this project by Ayrat Khusnutdinov and Alexey Bychkovadm. These natural objects, not architecture, are the main actors in the scene; here architecture is only a structure. The notion that a building can be a musical instrument that is directly a magnet of social activity is one of the steering wheels of the proposal.

The undulating structure behaves like a ballerina creating various stage effects, closing the space and opening it up at its climax on the waterfront. Its dramatic folds are synonymous with the demeanor of the stormy sea and the crescendos of operatic music. In one gesture, this fluid surface establishes a formal continuity from park to canal to island, and unites numerous elements of the project’s program. Its different parts can simultaneously serve both roles — stage and audience, mix these relationships, create a sense of play at this stage — life. The underwater sea space of the opera house complex is a celebration of what architecture should be — not an object in space, but a group of objects that create space: a space for relaxation due to Busan’s great asset — the sea.
