Yeosuexpo 2012

The New Thematic Pavilion for the Yeosu 2012 world expo intends to raise interests and awareness of the oceans and to explore educational and scientific aspects of the state of the art research on the marine environment. The ocean is the origin of life and of living organisms of the Earth, and so it's connecting together all the living elements of our environment. To celebrate the ocean and its unifying element, the water, we developed our design concept around the shape of a waterfall. Waterfalls are typical elements of the Korean landscape like the Cheonjiyeon, meaning a waterfall connecting the sky (Ch'eon) and land (ji).
