Space Information
Symbolic public plazas were proposed to animate the entry sequence and a main tower on a prominent corner will give a fresh mark to the monotonous grid pattern of the nearby district. Korea Polar Research Institute consists of four major components: administrative office, research facility, support facility and dormitories. The institute’s main administrative building is reminiscent of iceberg with pattern of stone panel express frigid polar climate. For the research zone, maximum flexibility and expandability was the key consideration. Support facility has its own separate service entry for large delivery trucks. Dormitories for researchers were designed to ensure privacy and maintain good quality of communal life.
