Seoul Photographic Art Museum. 2019 Competition Entry.

SCULPTING LIGHT Photography is about capturing moments. Realities that exist in the present, reminisce the past, and inquires about the future. The building serves to transport guests in a time‐less space where these realities can be explored. A probe on the psychology of perception, the interiority blurs the connections between building elements. A space where partitions seem to float and ceilings, walls, and floors form continuous planar undulations. . Light breaks through curious seams strategically placed on the undulations which leads to edges that seem to dematerialize and creates fascinating shadows that activates surrounding spaces. . The concept of aperture manipulation is used through the juxtaposition of two contrasting silhouettes ‐ a geometric, rigid structural skin and a playful, undulating structural slab within. The building skin dominates the façade but its permeability lends to a dynamic play with light that can shift the profile of the building throughout the day. At night, through a strategic lighting system, the focus shifts to the structural undulations creating a symbolic play on the fluidity of Seoul’s rich history and culture.
