Solus4 Architecture
Architect Description:
Solus4 proposed a design solution for the Busan Opera House competition that symbolizes the elements of culture and history of Korea.
Alfonso Lopez, lead designer describes the origins of the design: ‘A very special characteristic of Korean heritage is the linked uniformity of the art, history, culture and language. Much of this is based on the beauty and the pleasure that each element of nature represents to the individual and the community’.

Much of this is based on the beauty and the pleasure that each element of nature represents to the individual and the community’.
Solus4 team chose to incorporate into the basic building form the elegance of the brush and ink paintings of the Fourth Era of the Joseon Period. In these paintings the Korean artists chose natural elements according to an aesthetic sensibility. The concept of sohwa is the overlay of several elements of art and culture as when painting and calligraphy are joined. Emerging from these concepts they developed a simple expression of nature and peaceful elegance.
Solus4 were attracted to the free flowing lines that characterize the paintings of this type take on a very lyrical almost musical quality in the abstraction of the images above. They took the two dimensional basis and expanded this into the third dimension of building volume without any loss of the original element. This to them was the emerging of the sohwa principle that we wanted to try to express in this building.
Their early concepts were then developed to integrate these shapes and elements into volumes that would not detract from the original intent and yet allow the incorporation of a state of the art voice performance facility coupled with the various ancillary uses. Staying within the traditional artistic parameters, they first placed the conceptual diagram on the site. Then, they diagramed the building shapes and the essential volumes.
Solus4 used the original ink brush strokes to freely become building elements. By varying the connections to the earth and varying the edges and heights of roof shapes they found that they were able to provide strong volumetric edges that reinforce the freedom of the original art.
It is also important to note the integration of sustainable systems for this project. Solus4 have integrated technology into this building which includes roof based solar collectors, sea water differential temperature cooling, tidal current generators and geothermal mass storage.
The orchid is classified as one of the “graceful” plants and represents “refinement” in Confucian philosophy. As one of the symbols of the four seasons the orchid represents summer and the dissemination of its fragrance far and wide. The design of the Busan City Opera House symbolizes the hospitality and welcoming of the peoples who extend the unique flower in greeting. The design solution has its conceptual base in the cultural symbology of Korean history – in this case most specifically music, voice performance and art.

Vitosha Mountain is the most visited mountain in Bulgaria. It is located on the outskirts of the capital city - Sofia. The territory of the mountain includes Vitosha Nature Park which is the oldest in the Balkans.
Crystals
are undeniably one of the most impressive structures in nature. The
concept of the project follows natural principles of crystals' external
formation, referring to crystallography science. One of crystals'
characteristics is the ability to surround by themselves with flat
walls. The walls of the crystals are crossing in ribs (edges), the ribs -
in peaks (horns). All they are called restrictive elements. Same
substance under different crystallization conditions forms different
shaped crystals. There are 47 basic shapes, each of which may
independently fence a crystal.
Crystals may have different
number, size and shape of walls. Depending on the conditions of growth
of the crystalline solids, some walls develop faster and better, others
remain small. But however the crystal grows, its form is determined by
their logical internal structure.
The concept underlying the project follows the same natural principles. The design presents a functional internal structure which is fenced by crystal forms containing ribs, peaks and walls. The crystal forms are carved in a solid volume, reminiscent of the typical for Vitosha Mountain's stone rivers. The two volumes are developed around a preserved part of the existing stone rivers which has become a center of the composition and also part of the interior of the building. They work together as one structural unit and build an attractive vision of mountain 5-star Shtastlivetsa hotel.

Nashville gets a riverfront amphitheater with rock-and-roll roots. The
design of a world-class amphitheater is part of a large 11-acre civic
park along the Cumberland River in Downtown Nashville. The park will be
fully accessible to the public during non-event days and the
amphitheater provides a dynamic expression of Nashville’s Country Music
history while positioning itself for the 21st century.
In the design of the amphitheater shell and its supporting facilities,
we have been greatly influenced by the site, historic Nashville, and
Nashville’s esteemed place in American music. Those influences range
from the extraordinary hatch poster graphics to the trusses on the
bridge, and from the limestone masonry to the neon-lit bars.
The amphitheater will accommodate up to 6,500 people with semi-fixed
seating for 2,200, a 300-person greenway pavilion, and 4,000 lawn seats.
The amphitheater facility is designed to accommodate multiple forms of
performance events and musical genres, including country, rock, and
symphonies, as well as community events. The facility is fully supported
with an artist wing, operator offices, and a dining event space which
opens to a park side terrace.
Great care was taken to maximize the view window through the stage
providing audience members a vast and compelling frame of the Nashville
skyline. Additionally, the perceived thickness of the roof structure is
reduced by a sweeping, gestural extension of the underside surface which
also houses optimized rigging support for all stage productions. Source

All the program units loop around a central courtyard peaking in a five-star hotel. From the distance the overall complex creates a clearly identifiable landmark. The ascending curves of the volume are a reference to the dynamics of the context. The internal courtyard shields from the noise and the hectic pace of the city creating a retreat for guests and customers- a green oasis. It is a shared communal space connecting the various programs.
By overlaying the displayed content with an aluminum mesh, the light gets abstracted while focusing the eye on the sharply displayed images and videos of the high resolution screen. In this way the low resolution media installation works as a visual amplifier augmenting the commercial content over the building’s facade and reaching a scale which is relevant to the architecture as well as to its urban context.
