About Interpolation 艺术画廊

"插值"是一座坐落于首尔石村湖公园内的艺术画廊。公园内有一片湖泊以及两条彼此独立的环形步道，一条位于内侧，一条位于外侧，两者之间存在四米的高差。该画廊形成了一条有机的通道，将两条步道串联起来，并塑造出通往公园的全新门户。建筑体量以曲面铝板包覆，与景观相衔接的平台则采用清水混凝土饰面。地源热泵与屋顶光伏板的应用降低了能源消耗。设计意图在于将艺术融入日常生活。

Unique Properties: Lacking amenities for a cultural experience, Seoul City called for a design competition of an art museum within the Seokchon Lake Park. The proposal is a winning scheme under development; construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. The proposed design aims to provide a visual mark as an entry into the park. The newly introduced interpolating path connects the discontinuous outer ring path and inner ring path, bisecting the site to design a new "gateway" to the park.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site Area: 1,396.58㎡
Building Area: 1,543.2㎡
Floor No: Below grade 1 floor, Above grade 3 floors
Building Height: 15m
Tags: Art Gallery, Parametric Design, Organic Form, Sustainable design, Public Interaction
Production Technology: The overall form, even though visually appears organic, is designed with fully developable, rationalized surfaces. The building mass will be constructed with curved aluminum panels, and the deck structure which meets the park landscape directly will be finished with exposed concrete. The project also includes various sustainability measures from ground-source heat pumps to photovoltaic panels on the roof, meeting Seoul City's zero-energy code for public buildings.
Design Challenge: Public projects in Korea are often limited by financial funding and complicated approval process. The project intends to be an art by itself and is going through rigorous geometrical studies for optimized fabrication and construction. Only 20% of the overall panels are required to be curved, and the use of flat panels is maximized. The project received approval from the Park Commission, considered one of the most challenging processes for buildings located in public parks.
Inspiration: The general concept of architectural interpolation stems from analyzing the current site conditions and context of Seokchon Lake Park. A public park located in Seoul City, it has a unique topographical character. The park is composed of a lake and (2) separate ring paths, one inner around the lake, and an outer peripheral following the city's roadways. 4m elevation difference between the two walkways separates the two with limited connections. Interpolating an organic passage through the densely landscaped sloped territory and connecting the two paths was the project's main idea.
Project Duration: The project competition was held in February 2019 announcing the winner on March 12th. The design is under development for construction which is scheduled to start in March 2021 and completed in February 2022.
Operation Flow: Considering the location of the project, the gallery's role as infusing the art in the daily life of the viewers will be as crucial as exhibiting the artwork. Through the flowing connection of the interior and exterior spaces and the organic relationship between the spaces, we expect to provide everyday artistic experiences to visitors and those passing by.
