Korean architecture and urbanism have been shaped by the geographical features of continuous mountain ranges like veins. This dynamic topography created various environmental differences according to the change of seasons and weather, and architecture has been developed for making balance and harmony in the ever-changing nature. Yin-Yang is the principle of a living nature and is also an important concept in the principle of Korean architecture with nature. For instance, Mandaeru is harmoniously merged with nature when viewed from the outside, but inside it absorbs the surroundings by forming a dark-shiny structural atmosphere.
In traditional Korean architecture, nature is not represented by trees, but means living nature. We set the Yin-Yang principle of nature as an abstract symbol by setting two diagonal sloping plates as shaded green areas and open squares, respectively. And, following the principle of the museum complex, the rectangular program masses were arranged in harmony with nature. In addition, by arranging arcades, the spatial experiential continuity of the museum complex was created. The arcade is connected to other museums and is arranged to be connected to the entrance plaza and each functional zone. We arranged rectangular program volumes in harmony with the dynamic nature. And by using reflective aluminum panels on the outside of the masses, nature was projected onto the building to create a harmonious landscape. On the other hand, an architectonic system was proposed based on the grid system of traditional architecture, Khan. In addition, a double lintel system was proposed to expose the lower beam under the ceiling to increase the tectonic atmosphere of the space. This atmosphere, in the process of accepting the bright exterior landscape, partially reflects it gently to increase the sense of architectural reality.
