In recent years, café architecture, an area very much in the hands of architects, is beginning to hold a unique place in the field. Although they are a commercial spaces, evidently seeking profit, the nature of users’ actions taking place inside and outside these buildings is quite public and open. Cafés can serve as libraries, as spaces to meet friends or colleagues, as concert halls, as spaces to recharge or to seek inspiration, and even as children’s playgrounds. Furthermore, whether they are located in the middle of the city or on the outskirts, each of these spaces tend to be influenced by their surroundings and endeavour to capture their local colour. As a result, we are easily able to locate not only examples of an experimental appearance in terms of…

If architecture is a record of the times and our society, Apgujeong-dong’s buildings reveal the collective desires of Korean society. The demands of the client, who introduced various ideas such as a skip floor, stadium brick façade, gable roof, balcony, fireplace and chimney, and iron stairs, sounded more passionate and pure. So, I had an expectation that Apgujeong’s candid façade would not look negative. Since the interior space is not so large, only one column is placed in the middle to form a skip floor, but the direction and position of each floor are different, and the changing interior space meets the two faces of different characteristics and forms a different relationship. The stadium brick façade facing the road is like a mask of desire; it has a rigid form…

Relationship with the Object Known as Architecture Architecture is a thing. We form a relationship with our environment or with other people through the act of building things. Relationships are reciprocal, and when things reveal their relationship to each other, they define us again. Therefore, an unilateral use of things as a means to an end will break a more virtuous cycle of relationships with things. If we believe that architecture has more meaning than that of a shelter to protect one from a rainstorm, it becomes difficult to locate a place and meaning for architecture in our society. Although architecture, labeled as real estate, has long been treated as a means of accumulating wealth, how can weak architecture intervene in a situation in which architecture is employed as a…

Dispersal and Addition Park Jiyoun: Thank you for inviting me to your office. It is an interesting multistory space with a pitched roof. Park Heedo: It took me about four months to find this space. As I’m fond of the energy that characterises the areas around Hongik University, the location had to be somewhere around here, but as you know, the rent is rather high. As I was browsing options that featured terraces and parking, I came across this interesting office space and immediately signed the contract. I get such good vibes from this place. My clients have also enjoyed their visits here, and so I thought it was only right to hold this interview here. Park Jiyoun: You are sharing the office with the interior design studio, TINKER. Do…

Han Garam (Han): The NISHIJI PROJECT began as a request from a client who is a real estate developer and art collector. What were the main requirements? Mai Komuro (Komuro): At the beginning, the client didn’t have a strong vision for the new gallery and only had a plan to build his residence and office space with a private gallery space for his own art collection. However, he was motivated to do something more active on the site and the neighbourhood where he grew up. Thus, his key requests were cultural commitments to the neighbourhood, attraction to external visitors, and optimisation of suburban potential. Han: The site is located where the client’s parents live. What was the original site situation like? Komuro: The site is in linear shape and his…

‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’: René Magritte’s painting of a tobacco pipe (La trahison des images, 1929) was shocking in its time. He painted a pipe, but wrote below it, ‘This is not a pipe’, which leaves room for several possibilities of interpretation caused by inconsistency between the painting and the text. Aside from philosophical concerning whether the artist’s painting can correspond to a real object, or whether the writing is still painting or a text, Magritte’s painting reveals the striking propositions raised by surrealist artists in the 1920s who tried to create works that could escape or break with rational thinking. Jeomchon Gi-wa House in Mungyeong is a work of architecture that intentionally channels something of this inconsistency. The floor plan of this house barely recalls that of the…

The remodeling work of the buildings had to take into account the content and meanings of various levels, whether they were intentional or not. We should not overlook or place importance on any one factor from the past or present moment, our changing environment, the new functions required, or the existing structures and materials. Nevertheless, the most important thing is to remember what role a single work of architecture played in relationships between people. By reflecting on this, architects must respect the process leading up to the present and create new and sustainable relationships based on bonds that extend beyond time. In the crushed stone factory, the process of treating limestone is made evident in the spatial configuration. A strong contrast between the horizontal exterior space, where facilities for crushing…

RE-VISIT SPACE 18 SPACE has documented the Korean architectural scene over the past 56 years. To shine a new light on its huge collection of past articles, the architecture historian Hyon-Sob Kim, critic Park Junghyun, architect Suh Jaewon, architecture and art historian Cho Hyunjung, and art historian Shin Chunghoon were invited to conduct a discussion about SPACE’s impressive legacy. We hope that the material shared at this meeting will present a productive new genealogy and direction to today’s architectural debates. Hyon-Sob Kim, an architectural historian and critic, has worked as a professor at Korea University since 2008, following his doctoral and post-doctoral researches at the University of Sheffield in the UK. He is now interested in writing a critical history of modern architecture in Korea. His…

Research Section on Architectural Theory Aim of SPACE Academia SPACE Academia is the Architectural theory research section of SPACE. The section serves to introduce academic papers that enrich and expand the legacy of SPACE, in its search for future directions in ways of thinking about architecture.

Verdant trees, bounteous wildflowers, immovable rocks, the sounds of the wind and birds in close proximity, views of the mountains and the sky in the distance, a fresh smell from the neatly mowed grass of a golf course: these are our enduring sense impressions of the site during our visit in spring 2020. The first impressions are always very evocative. Panoramic Residence is a small accommodation facility for staff members that is located within a golf club in Chungju. Surrounded by mountains in the distance, the site is also adjacent to varied landscapes including a golf course to the south, a valley to the west, and a hill to the north. Our task was to draw the landscape into the building’s centre to use it as a means of composing…

‘Strike Fortune House’ is the name of a blowfish restaurant run for many years by client. It is not a certainty whether the witty wordplay of the homonyms that emerge from its name where there at the beginning. However, it seems that the client’s affection for a place in which the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom along the stream, just across the residential village of a well-known shopping district, and which seems to have encouraged me to imagine more daring and pleasant things. Since the first to third floors below are rental spaces, the plan was devised as a general square plan, and the image we imagined was focused on the fourth-floor living space where the plan could be freer and more durable. After reviewing various forms, it…

In some buildings, the nature and use of the land sometimes contradict their situation. The land facing Soyangho Lake along National Highway Route 44 had an emotional and contemplative view that led to a calm lake, even if you don’t necessarily note the memories of its submergence written on the information board. However, as the existing buildings lined up behind the parking lot seem to be wearing clothes that do not fit the scenery, the expectation that the area should be redeveloped was very heavy. In the end, due to this awkwardness and burden, the rest area was divided into independent spaces according to character and role. The existing building of rest area, which blocked the view of Soyangho Lake, removed the function of the retail, took off the cumbersome…
