Vault House

Vaults have been traditionally employed as a device to create independent spaces. As seen in Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum, vaulted structures can invite external natural light to dwell within the project’s confines, creating the illusion of an exponentially expanding space. In the Vault House, the space is replenished by light which scatters along the vaults’ surfaces, blurring the lines separating the walls and the ceiling.

Depth of Surface, Potential of Space

At times, the view outside the window—Namsan and the surrounding scenery of Haebangchon—look like a living organism. The houses, the alleys, and the topography must have bonded together and evolved like a tree. The lives of the inhabitants must also have grown into each other amidst these houses and alleys, settling down quietly like a bird nesting on a tree branch.

The First Adoption of the Korean Ondol Principle in Usonian Houses: Jacobs House I

Last July, Jacobs House I by Frank Lloyd Wright was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This house is the first example of the ‘Usonian houses’ that Wright designed for ordinary families in America from the late 1930s onwards. Hyon-Sob Kim, explores the introduction of floor heating in the Jacobs House.

A Little More Slowly, a Little Deeper: 'Mindfulness'

Piknic, which since opening in May 2018 has achieved wide popularity for its refreshing exhibition programme, has returned again with the new title ‘Mindfulness’. Kim Bumsang, the Principal at GLINT who manages Piknic, has continued to devise provocative and sensuous exhibitions. Aligning with its title, this exhibition aims to slow things down and let the audience form a deep engagement with the art works on show. We had the chance to hear the story behind the exhibition from him.
