Description of the project
~This project is governed by the belief that architecture must “enable people to think the unthinkable”. Taking the view that architecture should be enabling, liberating and life-enhancing for the educational experience of designers and visitors, we try to rethink the basic concept of design education. The project is to create a mobile learning resource for designers and the public and an ‘anticipatory architecture’, which is impermanent. It will be an architecture designed for continual cultural change. As a catalyst, this proposal spawns changes from within, to anticipate and offer new possibilities for the city as a whole, constantly challenging and questioning the accepted modes or status quo of design and its relationship to the public. The spatial connections afforded by the fluid architecture promote a dialogue and exchange between the public programme of the city and the contemporary design agenda. Critical Korean traditions and ever evolving design futures are compressed together and mutually benefit from the unprecedented juxtapositions provided by the continuous interior and exterior surfaces of the project. .
