Busan Cinema Complex Urban

Busan Cinema Complex Urban

Plaza, South Korea

Creating a new public space as a lively, ibrant landmark for the Busan Cinema Complex and home of the Pusan International Film Festival. The concept envisions an Urban Plaza of our overlapping zones including an Urban Valley, Red Carpet zone, Walk of Fame and PIFF Canal Park. The zones are formed by highly recognisable building objects housing project functions including Cinema Mountain, PIFF Hill, Double Cone concourse and BOWL outdoor amphitheatre. Roof elements acting as a Virtual Sky connect objects and zones in a continuous, multi-functional public urban space where media, technology, entertainment and leisure are merged in an open-architecture of changeable, tailored events and experiences. The result is a responsive, flowing space acting as an urban catalyst for cultural experimentation and transformation. Completion scheduled October 2011.
