About Artificial Topography 인공 지형은

동굴과 같은 큰 가구 컨테이너 국제 경쟁에서 최우수 예술상을 수상한 프로젝트입니다. 내 생각은 동굴과 같은 비정질 공간을 만들기 위해 컨테이너 내부의 볼륨을 비우는 것입니다. 플라스틱 재질로만 만들어졌습니다. 10mm 두께의 연질 플라스틱 소재 약 1000 장을 등고선 형태로 절단하여 지층처럼 적층 하였다. 이것은 예술뿐만 아니라 큰 가구입니다. 모든 부분이 소파처럼 부드러워서이 공간에 들어가는 사람은 자신의 몸매에 맞는 장소를 찾아서 휴식을 취할 수 있습니다.

Unique Properties
Big Furniture Like a Cave
This is the award-winning project won the Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. My idea is to hollow out the volume inside a container in order to build amorphous space like a cave. It is made of only plastic material. About 1000 sheets of the soft plastic material of 10-mm thickness were cut down in contour line form and were laminated like stratum. This is not only art but also big furniture. Because all the portions are soft like a sofa, and person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.
Dimensions & Packaging
It was spaced out across the shipping container's 40-foot length to create.
Width 2400mm x Depth 6000mm x Height 2400mm

Research
I am a great interest in nature especially the system of nature. Two years ago, my exhibition held in England. In the exhibition, a lot of experimental architectural projects and the execution works in each category that I obtained the inspiration from nature such as “Solar”, “Air”, ”Water”, ”Ground”, “Crystal”, “Biological”, “Flower”, and “Aurora” were exhibited. Because these aimed to approach “Nature” more closely, it was named “Nature-oriented Architecture”.
And therefore, this “Artificial Topography” is the recent project of the Nature-oriented Architecture as “Ground” category.

Project Duration
This was exhibited during from October 1st to November 23rd in Kobe Biennial 2011 in Japan
Operation Flow
Person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.
