Busan Cinema Center

The cinema center plays host to the Busan International Film Festival . Coop Himmelb(l)au  designed this piece in 2006. Construction began 2008 and was finished in 2012. The piece is a staple in Busan, South Korea.  I love the layered look of the cinema center. The basic concept of this project was the discourse about the overlapping  of open and closed spaces and of public and private areas. The overall nature of the piece does not use the standard column as a support. Rather there is an 85 meter cantilever that acts as wings above. It is a testament to the firm to push the norms within the architecture industry. Again, the cinema center utilizes unique shapes and glassware to create a unmatched piece.
