Architectureedit
The design concept for the center’s curved facade was derived from the image of a dancer’s flowing robes performing the traditional Seungmu dance.[6] The façade is made of dual-layered glass and aluminum curtains. Due to the high occurrence of seismic activity, the center is a Seismic Isolated Structure.[7] Some of the programmed spaces include: a library, digital media library, art gallery, cinema and stage, lecture spaces, classrooms, performing arts spaces, a madang or outdoor activities space, garden, and traditional fermented foods outdoor demonstration area.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
The fourth floor is designed and constructed to resemble a hanok. The floor, walls, and ceiling are constructed using traditional wood joinery techniques while the floors are heated using an ondol system. The hanok consists of two rooms: a sarangbang which is the reception room located near the exterior and a daecheong or main room. The sarangbang opens out onto the madang and garden. A traditional giwa, tiled, roof was constructed on the exterior facade of the hanok.[16][17]
The garden and madang comprise over half of the fourth floor’s space. The madang is a large graveled area where outdoor activities and meeting can take place. It is separated from the smaller garden area by a short wall capped in traditional tiles. Included in the garden is a fermented foods display area. Glazed dark brown earthen jars, of various sizes, are placed atop a large rectangular display block.[18]
