NEW CITY STAGE
THU THIEM OPERA HOUSE
The Thu Thiem area is located right across the Saigon River from the city centre of Ho Chi Minh City and is set to become a new urban area over the next few years. The design of its waterfront will have a great impact on the city's future image as it forms the scenery on which the city looks from historic District 1.
The iconic Ba Son Bridge will connect the two areas. A new opera house is planned right next to where it ends on the Thu Thiem side. This unique exposed location requires an outstanding design in terms of both urban planning and architecture.
In this years’ Typological Design II module, the objective is to investigate the question of the aesthetic and symbolic character of a contemporary opera house in Ho Chi Minh City. In the focus stands the human motion through and perception of space.
