Heaven, Earth, Water…

…I am swept off my feet by the Busan Opera House by Snohetta.  It is a graceful beauty.  The idea behind its conception is thoughtful and meaningful…

The form of the Busan Opera house is derived from its own context and culture.The basis for the lay-out refers to Kun (Heaven) meeting Kon (Earth) which again meet Kam (Water).  The classical trigrams of these elements both describe this site exceptionally well, whilst they refer to the historical and philosophical relationships that are of great importance to Korean culture. The slight bending of the surfaces in Snøhetta`s design are the bars of the trigrams slightly deformed to touch and meet each other in a subtle manner.
