Seoul
Korea
Absorbing Korean culture and context throughout our collaborations, which have been ongoing since 1990, we have carefully considered the key aspects of the place in order to settle with delicacy and respect within a culture layered with codes and meanings accumulated over centuries.
Starting from the climate, characterized by short and often extreme seasons, contrasted by vegetation relatively limited in species and color range.
However, what truly became our focus was its human ecology and its particularly resilient social fabric.
Unlike other nations, where external influences have often transformed or even distorted identity, here they have been absorbed and adapted to the strength of Korean culture. Koreans have preserved and nurtured their values while at the same time opening up to a Western technological vision, adopting the technical and rational tools necessary for development, and ultimately becoming a global power in many fields.
By removing superficial gestures and filling them with meaning, abundance has not been left as is; it has been distilled with the typical character of a culture accustomed to transforming multiplicity into synthesis, expression into essence.
For us, architecture does not begin with form, but with the way space is perceived. The psychology of space is central to our work: how light, material, and proportion can nurture intimacy, reflection, and joy. The strength of the building finds its most authentic expression through refinement and reduction.
