Pangkyo
Technological Research Park - Scheme 2 Seoul,
South Korea
Technology is in a constant state of revelation, new ideas, systems
and perspectives unfold to reveal an new world of discovery. The
site plan takes advantage of the pedestrian way and public open space
by locating restaurants, cafes and bars at ground level along with
independent entrances to the street level retail shops.The unfolding “glass
box” identifies different layers of transparency across the
façade and from top to bottom. The opaque panels represent
the “undiscovered”, the 60%-80% opaque indicate the “unveiling” quality
of research. The clear glass represents “full discovery” and
the reward of invention.
