The Gyeonggi-Do Jeongok Prehistory Museum is envisaged as an extension of the surrounding terrain and archival sites, and as a fibrous volume, which emerges from itself, expanding onto the site, ferociously changing from a soft and natural surface (terrain) into a strong and foreign material (building).
Using a policy to promote cultural and educational activities, our proposal performs as an central character in the play, not only for the users of the facility, but also for the entire culture of Korea; becoming a new Center for the discovery and empathetic learning of history.
