photography seoul museum of art opens with dynamic, twisting facade
- The Photography Seoul Museum of Art in Dobong-gu, Seoul, designed by Jadric Architektur and 1990uao Architects, spans six levels and aims to reflect the evolving identity of Korean photography.
- With clean circulation and restrained materiality, the architecture balances introspection with openness, treating the museum as a vessel for light and emphasizing soft transitions between levels.
- The museum is Korea's first public institution dedicated solely to photography, featuring two inaugural exhibitions - one focusing on early Korean art photography and the other reflecting on the museum as subject and site.
- The galleries are designed to accommodate various media, and the museum includes hidden archival spaces for long-term research and preservation.
- The museum envisions fostering dialogue between artists, curators, and researchers through talks, workshops, and events, aiming to widen public understanding of photographic art.
- With natural light shaping the interiors and a focus on spatial stillness, the museum offers a dynamic cultural anchor in the region of Dobong-gu.
- The museum's aspirations are to engage with both Korean photography's context and contribute to Asia's contemporary photography scene, complementing Seoul's role as a critical node in the region.
