Team project
The pavilion refocuses the Namyeong-dong Anti-Communist Branch (designed by Kim Swoo Geun) that has gloomy past
in front of the Arco Art Center (designed by Kim Swoo Geun) full of vitality.
It has differences of the Namyeong-dong Branch through long and narrow windows.
the windows in the Namyeong-dong Branch are cruel. The late democratic artivists were severely tortured there. People being tortured properly can't look out the window because of its longitudinal shape. However, the sunlight streamed into the room by the window. It is like hope they can go out. It creates desire to go outside and approve something they have not done.
