project description
This project was completed as part of an in-house
interdisciplinary team composed of landscape architects,
architects, and interior designers. I served as lead of the
landscape architecture team and am responsible for idea and
theme generation, diagram production, and render assistance.
Our design proposal responds to the brief of Seoul National
University by introducing a building addition designed in an
opposite polarity / character to engage the preserved part of
building #73 and its context. At the intersection of a dynamic
campus flow, the new addition expands out from the Black Box
to its context in a centrifugal movement. This is an expansion
but also a dissolution. Areas of spectacle and performance are
not restricted to the auditorium and Black Box, but propagate
beyond periphery into the landscape and onto the roof.
Through creating platforms and smaller zones that overlook
areas of fabrication and performance, the building becomes an
ever present interactive stage. As the new addition expands into
the context, it dissolves into the landscape while the landscape
flows into and onto the building. We are using landscape in
conjunction with hardscape to create zones of gathering and
experience. These areas are designed at the periphery where
the skin becomes transparent and soluble.
