Exterior daytime render of “Diffusion” and its playfull facade opening for public bystanders.
This project reveals opera to the public, using a lifted, kinetic façade to diffuse its cultural relevance and enduring beauty beyond traditional boundaries of class and space.
The facade of the building is inspired by the diffusion of particles through a cellular membrane. Like particles moving through a membrane, people can see and travel through the opera houses walls.
