About Pottery Art Gallery Mixed Use Architecture
The Pottery Art Gallery located in Daegu, Alpha City, is designed to maximize versatility for various purposes, incorporating a layout that overcomes the topographical features. The exterior features two distinct masses stacked on top of each other. The lower level consists of public spaces accessible to visitors, while the upper level comprises private research spaces. The design of the courtyard is inspired by the sinuous shape of pottery, opening up towards the outside and enclosing the inner space. This maintains the internal aspect of the courtyard space while adapting to the urban axis.

Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
Land is the very first material of architecture. Everything starts from there. Once we grasp the key conditions such as the purpose and scale of the building, looking at the land inspires strong insights into what needs to be done. Furthermore, feasibility in architecture is a crucial issue for us. It's because of our inherent philosophy that architecture means only when it actually exists.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The architecture needed to be recognizable from the materials and forms. Subsequently, individuals visually perceive and sensorially experience the building. We aimed for this structure to be distinctly recognized by all human senses.
Within a city of 2.5 million inhabitants, serious consideration was given to the role this space should play. Consequently, much attention was paid to external spaces such as courtyards, which could be accessible to the public.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
I am organizing exhibitions not only on an international scale but also on a smaller scale within local communities.
Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The exterior features two distinct masses stacked on top of each other. The lower level consists of public spaces accessible to visitors, while the upper level comprises private research spaces. The facade materials were carefully chosen to show its symbolic nature derived from the culture of pottery. The curvature design of the courtyard is inspired by the sinuous shape of pottery, opening towards the outside and gradually enclosing the inner space at the same time. Idea of the design came from the process of pottery making, the term, that is used as a way to describe contraction between the ceramic and the glaze causing the specks on Ceramic.

- Production Technology
- The design of the building clearly embodies the symbolic nature of the ceramic culture through the main facade with the unique ceramic pattern of Bing-ryeul. The fadade is not just a simple form but also gives the impression of illumination of white porcelain by using a three-dimensional pattern of anodized aluminum panels.
- Design Challenge
- Despite its geographical conditions and suburban site location, in terms of its programs that had two distinctive characteristics, the challenge was to create a space that embodies both public and private programs within the building using its topographical aspect to the design. As a result, we were able to minimize the exhaust of surrounding natural elements providing multidimensional and welcoming view to users of the building.
- Research
- The Pottery Art Gallery consists of commercial, office, and cultural spaces, the challenge was to maintain privacy and activity for each program by utilizing the internal courtyard and floors. Additionally, exterior volumes are vertically divided to allow independent use by each program, while the layered external landscape spaces are visually connected through the courtyard. Therefore, the overlapping form of external spaces creates a new, multidimensional view of the public.
- Inspiration
- The Pottery Art Gallery located in Daegu, Alpha city, is designed to maximize versatility for various purposes, incorporating a layout that overcomes the topographical features. The displayed characteristics from facade of the building encompass one aspect of traditional Korean ceramic craftsmanship.
