Communication hut

We were commissioned to create a public space on a small and urbanly nondescript site. We soon discovered that the bloody demonstrations that brought democracy to Korea in 1980 had been forged in a now non-existent bookshop on the same corner and we decided to construct a celebration of democratic freedom that involves the individual and collective use of public space. The idea was to build a simple manifesto of contemporary architecture, a hut for everyone, open and friendly. The trees that welcomed us are now part of the design. The ground plan is also part of the project in order to turn it into a neutral frame ready to host daily activities. We pave it with just a single material, but in different colours and textures. Some of its pieces emerge from the ground, encouraging actions such as sitting, lying, meeting or connecting, simulating an array of benches, tables or urban altars. All that remains is to conquer the air, and we do so by means of a large weightless piece that illuminates the space while drawing the invisible contour of the space liberated by the trees. Paving and providing energy are the actions that underpin the construction of the contemporary hut. The dream of Laugier viewed through Reyner Banham’s “A Home is not a House” transposed to the twenty-first century visits a historical city in transformation. Past, present and future come together in a key space to be enjoyed 24 hours a day.
