The Tan-Mok-Won project, located on the site of a 2013 fire in Ulsan, South Korea, embodies the memories of the past through its design. By utilizing charred wood to reflect the painful history of the land and honoring surviving trees, the architecture aims to keep memories alive. The building’s layout harmonizes with the site, emphasizing the natural landscape rather than overshadowing it. A unique gable roof and reflective surfaces allow nature to dominate visually, reinforcing the project’s focus on nature’s seasonal beauty rather than architectural grandeur.
The architecture expresses the forgotten memories of the past as a building, preserving them instead of letting them fade away.
The design team decided to express the building with charred wood inspired by the painful memory of the fire and the surviving charred trees.
The building conforms to the site's contour lines, minimizing civil engineering and becoming part of the existing nature.
This project is not about celebrating architecture but the beauty of nature that changes with the seasons.
