The   main   concept   of   our   design   is   the   fusion   of   the old   and   new.   From   the   material   used   to   the   form   of mass,   its   outcome   expresses   the   work   of   art,   the contemporary      architecture      through      traditional Korean architecture metaphorically.

The   materials   used   for   the   façade   are   copper   and silver   perforated   metal   panels,   which   go   under different   finishing.   Some   copper   panels   have   a rust   finish,   demonstrating   the   past   times;   on   the other   hand,   the   smooth   and   clean   silver   metal panels     represent     present.     We     will     be     using refurbished   recycled   metals   and   new   ones,   giving a    more    varied    and    random    patterns    for    the façade     design.     This     might     be     an     effective promotion    of    environmental    issues.    Moreover this     building     itself     will     be     educational     and contributive to the environment. The   building   is   composed   of   two   main   types   of mass   and   shape:   the   ones   covered   with   copper panels    are    mimicking    traditional    Korean    eaves, smooth    curves    with    elegant    shapes,    creating    a contemporary   mass;   on   the   other   hand,   the   silver ones     have     boxy     mass,     giving     a     sense     of modernism. The     masses     interlocked,     creating     a     complex, showing   a   variation   of   spatial   quality   and   ideas. This    is    a    fusion    of    old    and    new.    We    hope    to remind      people      about      the      tradition      while promoting    new    creations,    encouraging    the    art center to grow in different perspectives.
