CHIMYUN

The alleys of Yeonnam-dong are not remembered as clear images. What remains is not a single scene, but an accumulation of sensations gathered while walking: streets that subtly change in width, unexpected shifts in level, and facades and materials that reveal themselves only at close distance. Here, space is not something to be viewed from afar, but something gradually registered through movement. The Chimyun project began by paying attention to this way an alley is remembered. Rather than a planned urban composition, Yeonnam-dong’s alleys are fragments of time—formed through repeated cycles of dwelling, commerce, extension, and repair. Space in this context is never grasped all at once. It is read sequentially, shaped by the o... More

10 remarkable museum buildings with distinctive façade systems

The design of museums goes beyond its function of housing artefacts and exhibits; their architecture embodies the essence of a place, its culture, and its identity. In museum architecture, the façade system is one of the most significant features of the building. It can provide a visual representation of the museum's goals, convey the history of the place, narrate a unique story, or make a bold statement.   Additionally, it also contributes to the building's functionality and sustainability. For instance, some museum buildings use innovative façade systems to control the amount of natural light, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering energy consumption.
