01. SYMBIOSIS & INCOMPLETENESS
-
The most important intention of the proposal is to differentiate two buildings from
each other, by which we meant to make both of them incomplete in many different
aspects and meanings.

Are you crazy? WHY?
06
Because we believe incompleteness of the buildings will naturally create needs for
the unfulfilled and then eventually attract users from the other building. Given the
restrictions of area, budget, and predefined sets of programs, rather than designing
them look complete and perfect, which we don’t believe it is achievable any ways, we
wanted to help the two talk to each other and establish collaboration between them
in a bigger picture. As a way of doing this, we as architects and designers took tectonic
approaches basically testing out the idea of juxtaposition.

02. JUXTAPOSITION
-
To achieve symbiosis arising from the differences, we looked at lots of different but
interesting ways of differentiation. Below are some of the most interesting but promising
ideas ranging from building shapes, their relationship with the sites, transparency/opaqueness,
types of human activities, etc..

03. SENIOR CENTER // PYUNG-SANG &
-
The main concept of the senior center is Pyung-Sang (평상) which can be easily fou
very interesting in that it provides flexible space for socializing especially for elderly
hall as a huge Pyung-Sang where lots of different activity happens at the same tim
social activities. This space also can work as a stage, for example for a fashion sh
large space in a very high ceiling ware house building, we thought that sound attenu
propose series of wood baffles along the spine of the building. It will naturally wor
the space with warm ambient light. For better lighting condition for the guests, we
north facing roof so we can take advantage of indirect illumination. A diagonal wal
of densely installed bamboo batons. At the out most face of the building sit foldin
into an open pavilion in a sec. As this entire space under the roof will be very flexibl
senior lounges to more quite zone with minimal interruption - new extension on so
the senior lounge. Also its sloped face toward the Pyung-Sang and Madang will be a
on the stage. This sloping will naturally guide guests to the roof garden.
