“Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty” Jun’ichiro Tanizaki

Demand: A dense program is defined for the Seoul Photographic Art Museum. Program spaces have different plan sizes and heights. Each program is represented by an individual volume, which will be stacked and organized to become the museum.

“Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.”
― Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows

PAM is designed basically with three terms which are both common in architecture and photography; light, volume, shadow. The mass is perceived from boulevard with its large disintegrated volumes which also creates deep volumetric openness vertically and horizontally.
Museum is located between Seoul 50 Plus Start-up Campus and Robot Science Museum. Being aware of pedestrian flow on the boulevard, entrance plaza is designed largely to welcome and give a silent moment to public.

“Gölgeler olmasaydı güzellik olmazdı.”― Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, Gölgelere ÖvgüPAM temel olarak hem mimaride hem de fotoğrafçılıkta ortak olan üç terimle tasarlanmıştır; ışık, hacim, gölge. Kütle, bulvardan algılanan büyük parçalanmış hacimleriyle dikey ve yatayda derin hacimsel açıklık yaratıyor. Müze, Seul 50 Plus Startup Kampüsü ile Robot Bilim Müzesi arasında yer alıyor. Bulvardaki yaya akışının farkında olan giriş plazası büyük ölçüde halkı karşılamak ve sessiz bir an yaşatmak amacıyla tasarlandı.
