Busan has a specific geography: Mountains areas are connecting directly to the Pacific Ocean. With great nature, a high density of population and an urgent demand for public spaces to be used by the inhabitants.

The two new public spaces in the concept could get a new importance for the city of Busan:

• One facing west to the mountain and city side of Busan reserved for public performances

• One viewing east to the ocean side to celebrate “New Years Sunrise Festival”

In generally the reference to the history of Madang, a traditional open urban used for gathering, happenings and performances is the base for the design of it.

Connecting to the two places the two main functions of the Opera House (opera and theatre)allocated to these plazas.

A thin skin, protecting from the sun and water connects the two buildings, leaving in between a pathway open for the public
