The National Library of Korea Data Preservation Center Building
This design is an adaptive re-use expression of the International Broadcasting Center (IBC), built in 2018 for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. It is contextually inspired from the prominent lines found in the visual aesthetics of traditional houses found in South Korea called ‘Hanok’ (Korean: 한옥, 韓屋).
The derived lines reflect in the undulation of the massing and transcend beyond the individual face, to wrap the entire façade and further continue to form the roof trellis system that shelter and frame the design. While the design inspiration is contextual, built form, material and colour palette is contemporary.
This Design responds to the climatic and geographic parameters of the surrounding, by harnessing wind in the summer to the internal courtyard and blocking out cold winds in the winter. Louvers on the façade filter harsh sun light yet allow thermal heat gain which is desirable during chilly winter days. All scenic vantage points, like waterbody and hills, are framed through large windows, strategically placed.
