This Opera House Design Has No Back and You Can Walk on the Roof - Yanko Design

What makes this project so interesting is how it completely ditches the traditional opera house playbook. You know the type: imposing facades, grand staircases that separate the cultured elite from everyone else, buildings that basically scream "not for you" to anyone walking by. BIG's approach flips that script entirely. The 450,000-square-foot building is designed as what they call "a public building within a park," where the roofscape is fully walkable and the structure has no defined back side.
