Thematic Pavilion for Expo 2012 in Yeosu
South Korea, Yeosu
The desire to create an iconic building resulted in the main idea behind proposed design for Thematic Pavilion. Our inspiration came from 317 islands that Yeosu peninsula consists of and beautiful natural environment of the coastal triangle. Instead of designing another building we decided to create a landmark that will be harmonious with the existing landscape – a picturesque artificial island. The industrialization of the existing EXPO site and disappearing of natural coasts have brought severe damage to the health of the ocean. By designing Thematic Pavilion on the open waters we felt obliged to think about restoring natural coastal landscape. The island theme seems to be an ideal answer to a difficult question of creating unique architectural icon and at the same time respecting environment and its issues.
