Living room and bedrooms which are most part of the program of this house, are located on southern part of the house to take a view of golf course. The horizontal openings of the architecture makes fully income the panoramic golf course paysage into the house. The composition of continuous louvers installed on south facade to control the amount of the natural light makes even more dynamic facade.
Workroom for client’s leisure life is multi-use (drawing, flower arrangement, etc…) This space which is being independently with other spaces of the house, makes the dweller to get away from ordinary routine. Changing of boundary of the space by using folding door makes dweller to experience interior, exterior space selectively.
The site has the horizontal paysage of golf course on its south, a street of housing estate on its north. but site is narrow to the south and wide to the north. The figure of the site is not suitable with its context. for bringing in the horizontal panaramic paysage on the south to the interior of the house, we chosed to spread out the programs those this familly wants, and to use false wall and louvers to contain this paysage in each frame of openings. Not only they emphasize horizontal frame visually, but also control amount of incoming natural light.
Beijing-based architecture studio, TEMP, has renovated an old house into a café in Incheon, South Korea. The original structure was first built in the 70s using mainly bricks and concrete for a residential purpose. It was then turned into a local noodle store by the early 2000s. During this first transition, the building was painted white and the front yard was flattened into a parking lot. In refitting the structure to function as café, the studio designed through methods that mostly comprised of destruction to reveal the original architecture.
MVRDV has completed construction on The Imprint, a new 2-building art-entertainment complex in close proximity to Seoul’s Incheon Airport. Featuring a nightclub in one building and indoor theme park in the other, the windowless structures feature three key design elements: imprints of the façade features of surrounding buildings, lifted entrances, and a golden entrance spot covering one corner of the nightclub building.

“Writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion with signs and symbols. In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language. Writing is not a language, but a tool developed by human society.” It is a great task to trace back cultural heritages through studying and developing forms and styles from various ethnic backgrounds of each different writings and writing systems. In this sense and immediate understanding on the matter, we are overwhelmed by the fact the expression on the museum of world writing can be too vast and tremendous. Hence, creating the architectural form for the Museum of World Writing will be very much rewarding historical event, if we, as architects, can express into a form of conglomeration that brings the sense and beauty of the world writings.

The first issue was achieved by introducing a structural spiral organic element. The vertical solid elevator core of the building is wrapped by a steel spring like spiral element. The spiral element functions as a structural element and as a vertical circulation option. The flexible nature of the spiral enabled us to expand and shrink the thickness of the tower in relationship to structural and functional needs along its vertical section. The constant slope of the spiral enabled the creation of a subtle and almost “natural” organic grace to its monumental presence.
At this time when industrial society changes to cultural era, we started this project to turn on the cultural switch by building a building, just as putting a book in a empty shelf.

This project is part of a 22-acre urban renewal plan, connecting an Asian city with its major sea port. Its goal is to revitalize a depressed area by catalyzing growth powered by a new soccer stadium and mixed-use development. The design team carefully integrated the stadium’s site and program to respond to its urban context. An existing multi-modal transit station became a critical anchor in the northwest corner.
