Chopin thought that 'something beyond the beat' was necessary to make use of the dramatic feeling in playing his piano music. Rubato, a musical term, was used as a musical technique to bring the performance to life by changing the tempo as if the performer stole the beat according to his or her own interpretation through Chopin. In the structure of the original beat presented to avoid losing the overall balance, the 'harmony of pushing and pulling' that is not excessive under the performer's good taste is not a standardized form, but rather natural.
Not only music but also in all creative acts in everyday life, Rubato with deep introspection, that is, 'subtle disruption in moderation', is required.
The land in Toechon-myeon, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, had a topography with a cozy valley spread somewhat flat against the background of the slope starting from the foot of the mountain. Since this bakery cafe is premised on the composition of several buns such as bakery manufacturing building, main cafe building, and separate buildings such as Dining-building and Class-building, it was important to harmonize the buns that create flow while maximizing the use of the entire land. Since no land is given in advance with the right conditions for a specific program, it is important to find text latent in the ground and coordinate it with the program in order to create a special place.
As if drawing a stave on the ground, the base of the stripe drawn along the terrain was the beginning.When you naturally arrange the movements according to the flow of the lines that are drawn over the inclined terrain.The height difference of the natural topography has led to an appropriate hierarchical and communication space in the relationship between buildings. And the garden space inside was separated from the parking lot by adjusting the direction of the water path of the existing valley to gather in a large water space in front of the main cafe-building. The bridge across the water surface means the boundary between the two worlds as a gateway to enter nature. The water space, which adds vitality to the outer garden, is dispersed by the light reflected on the water surface to gently illuminate the interior of the main cafe building.
As the fragmented mass divided as if divided from one long rectangular mass takes place on the stave, a space naturally arises between the mass. The blank space guarantees a visual opening from the inside to the outside, and provides room for events by inducing natural circulation of outside walkers. In addition, a walking bridge connected to the class building and an inclined garden on the second floor of the display hall in Manufacturing-dong uses the topography to help three-dimensional circulation and intimate access to nature.
If you rely solely on the efficiency and function of the flow for the functional arrangement of the building, you may not be able to read the potential capabilities of the ground in text. Rather, the overall sense of balance is learned in this project through "Rubato's Lessons" that the open process and methodology of design that flexibly accepts natural flows are important.
