DESIGN CONCEPT. The Gyeonggi-Do Jeongok Prehistory Museum is envisaged as an extension of the surrounding terrain and archival sites, and as a fibrous volume, which emerges from itself, expanding onto the site, ferociously changing from a soft and natural surface (terrain) into a strong and foreign material (building).

Using a policy to promote cultural and educational activities, our proposal performs as an central character in the play, not only for the users of the facility, but also for the entire culture of Korea; becoming a new Center for the discovery and empathetic learning of history.

The concept for museums of cultural prehistory, particularly those that organizational framing in the process of research, have changed. Our design proposes an open interconnected terracing of exhibition spaces. All rooms of exhibition are separated only through the platform circulation, while visibility is constantly maintained. This new form of curatorial framing allows the entire contents of the museum to be constantly appreciated from every position, reinforcing the magnitude of historical artifacts contained within.
