Following the competition for the masterplan of the Daejeon Arts Park in South Korea, the jury yesterday shortlisted UNStudio’s design for the Music Performance Hall for the architectural competition which is set to take place later this year.
UNStudio’s design proposal for the Music Performance Hall includes a flexible, 2000-seat performance hall that is able to adapt to different types of performances. Whether it's classical music or K-pop, this hall can be transformed to suit the needs of every event.
In contrast, the smaller 400-seat Chamber Hall, with its wood interior cladding, offers a more intimate setting for performances. The backstage area can be opened up to the plaza, allowing for outdoor performances to take place. This versatility is a key feature of UNStudio's design, ensuring that the performance hall can accommodate a wide range of events and festivals throughout the year.
The design for the Music Performance Hall was part of UNStudio’s larger vision for the Daejeon Arts Park masterplan, designed in collaboration with landscape architect Loos van Vliet. Here, the main driver for the design was to make Daejeon a city that could be enjoyed to the fullest. UNStudio responded to this idea with a revitalisation of the entire urban area, and one that seamlessly connects the city and the train station with nature and the waterfront.
