This document summarizes the design of an auditorium for the Busan Opera House in South Korea by OODA. It discusses the key design elements and concepts. The main auditorium has an innovative design that allows the center area to rotate, providing flexibility for different performances and audiences arranged around the stage. Auxiliary facilities like restaurants, cafes, and a shopping center are integrated into the design. Acoustic and lighting elements like convex reflectors and wool carpeting are used. Plans and sections illustrate the multi-purpose theater space and facilities like the VIP lounge, rehearsal rooms, and balconies.

•The design for the Busan Opera
House by OODA engages itself with
the natural topography,
articulating a multi leveled building
and seamlessly integrating
different cultural activities and
programs.
•The formal approach is driven from
the natural proportion of the
program merged with inspirational
themes (like sea shells – music –
and butterfly typical pacific fish)
that allows the building to assume
its own unique charm and identity.
CONCEPT
DIAGARAMS
8. • The Opera Auditorium has a
pioneering and innovative design
concept.
• It is as flexible and efficient as it is
elegantly sculpted.
• The center area can rotate around
itself so, in the same space, it is
possible to have an Opera with all
its requirements, but also some
more intimate concerts and a
centered stage venue allowing to
have an audience all around.

MULTI PURPOSE THEATER
The multi-purpose theatre has its own identity
and articulation. According the design concept, it
could be used from multiple perspectives and
programmatic needs. The auxiliary facilities (high
level restaurants, café/bars, shopping, convention
center, exhibition space, banquet hall, event
room, etc) flows all along both the main structures
creating a perfect bind between all.

LIGHTING FIXTURES
A good number of lighting fixtures
are oriented on the stage covering
all angles
These lights can be dimmed or
brightened as per requirements.
Reflectors: Convex reflectors are
used for the projection of sound.
There are hollow projections coming
out from the side of the auditorium
that act as resonators or anti focusing
surfaces.
Flooring Material: The materials used
in the flooring are woolen carpets.
Woolen carpets are very good
absorptive material.
