The shade container | Younghan Chung Architects

To understand the context of a dense commercial district in Seoul is more difficult than to guess the establishment of the buildings. Also it might be unnecessary. That's why we came to the conclusion about valuable playing (fun) reproduction rather than reading context. It would be the first step for the deformation not the renovation, which are put into a piece of history and time. There were a few features used, such as simulated exposed concretes and perforated panel for this project. It didn't mean that a value judgment was placed on reality and simulation. It’s about simulation in order to support reality. Among them the light container was created as a new architectural terminology. Some construction materials included at a specific time were used to emphasize the ambiguity between real and imitation ones. The core of this work was the container which has the emotion of the light and some memories.
