Isabu Dokdo Museum / Simplex Architecture

The site lies in Jeongna-dong, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do. Samcheok Port is located to the east, with an industrial zone to the east and the south, a commercial zone to the north, and a residential zone to the north west. In A.D. 512 (the 13th year of King Jijeung's reign), Silla general Isabu set off from this spot in Samcheok with his marine troops to conquer Usanguk, today known as Ulleungdo Island, and Dokdo Island, which was part of the Silla territory. Yukhyangsan Mountain, located at the centre of the site, was once an oceanic island at the time of Isabu's departure, but has now become a mountainous region. Underneath this reclaimed land are the lower reaches of Yukhyangsan Mountain, which was once an island. The lower part of the Yukhyangsan Mountain was excavated, the site was lowered to its former altitude, and water was introduced. The water introduced to this area adopts the form of a pond with the name Yukhyang-ji, relating it to Yukhyangsan Mountain and alluding to the image of an island on the sea. An exhibition space tracing the historic features throughout the newly revealed site will come to play a role as na ew cultural site in Samcheok, and recover what in the landscape had been lost to the past.

Lumen Residential Building / Next Office–Alireza Taghaboni

We call the Lumen Residential Building the Corners Project because by manipulating and distorting the form in the corner of a building block and by using strategies such as filament, semi-transparency, and multi-layering, we could tame the intense light that exists in the main aspects of the building.

Stream Eyewear Starfield Village Unjeong / RVMN

If eyewear in the past was consumed primarily for vision correction, today it has come to be recognized as a small fashion item that expresses one's identity, shifting the direction of the eyewear market as a whole. Following Suwon, the second location—STREAM EYEWEAR Unjeong—breaks away from the conventional image of an "optical shop," redefines STREAM's brand presence, and unfolds with a narrative unique to Unjeong.

House CO / Estudio Base Arquitectos

The CO House, located in Santo Domingo, Chile, was born out of the necessity of a couple looking to settle on the coast with a versatile and flexible home. The design aimed to balance the comfort for the daily use of two people with the ability to comfortably accommodate ten occupants during certain periods of the year, prioritizing functional flexibility.
