Sanzpont’s Busan Opera House Boasts a Gargantuan Green-Roof

<a href="http://www.sanzpont.com/">The Sanzpont twins</a> took their cutting edge architectural vision to new heights with this latest design for the Busan Opera House in Korea. Not only does it have a philosophical depth that will unite the locals with their spiritual heritage, but it also showcases a bevy of sustainable features. Let's start with the building's skin, which controls the LED RGB lighting that illuminates the building at night. During the day, the shaded facade deflects solar gain and encourages natural ventilation, while at the same time generating electricity through its integrated <a href="http://inhabitat.com/breaking-solar-power-breakthrough-could-render-solar-cells-obsolete/">photovoltaic solar panels</a>. These techniques ensure that Korea's iconic cultural fixture won't have a massive energy footprint. And finally, if you've caught your breath, the green roof and multiple green terraces will be totally accessible to visitors.

Sanzpont Arquitectura is taking their design genius to soaring new heights

Demonstrating an equal grasp of technology and natural systems, their designs are totally cutting edge.

And the Busan Opera House proposal is no different

A complex technology allows the LED RGB lighting controls to create Energy Flow in Motion

Illuminated at night, during the day the facade generates its own energy

While deflecting solar gain and promoting diffused daylight and air circulation

Every horizontal inch of the building is passable

The incredible green roof also promotes insulation

And harvests rainwater, which is used in the toilet and other plumbing facilities

Greywater is recycled and used to irrigate the crazy landscape

This mind-blowing design is as efficient as it is bold.
