The cube is one of the most basic geometry, but yet, it creates dynamic manifold with little changes.

The very basic shape cubes are experimented and developed with various colors, materials and positioning angle etc. The membrane pavilion, on the other hand, is curvilinear shaped, which creates a strong contrast to the others but still stays in harmony with the surrounding of Seoul Innovation Park.

By being parasitic to an old existing building, it revitalize and gives attention to the public. The name of the existing building is ‘Miraechung’, and currently largest facility building in the site. It visually overwhelms and not yet friendly to users by its incongruous 6 storey high volume. The pavilion attaches to the building in a tilted angle, which breaks the huge volume to the human scale. The brick wall of Miraechung can be seen from inside and used as the main exhibition wall. This space is intended to be used as a library, exhibition area, meeting area, and others.

The scaffolding tubes, which are often used at construction sites, are colored and attached. The concept was inspired from vertical tree trunks in the innovation park. Through the bright colored pipes, it brightens and vitalize the surrounding. From inside, the colored pipes and surrounding environments are well mixed. still get a protected feeling.

Juxtaposed objects reflects but the surface translates the images to a wavy pattern like painting. By reflecting surrounding, the pavilion absorbs and enriches the scenery to a mirage. Inside the pavilion, the visitors can experience a sense of the forest. The authentic tree trunks serve as seats and bookshelves. The old pine tree can be observed from inside through the transparent glass ceiling.

The original concept was inspired from a flower bud, which grows between the rocks. The curvilinear structures express traditional lyricism and dynamism of modern Korea. The pavilion gives aesthetic emergence as a sculpture during the day, while lightens around at night time like a lantern.
