South Korea's River Culture Pavilion - Courtesy: Mr. Jacob Paul Wiegmann
*The River Culture Pavilion (aka ARC), a multimedia pavilion located in Daegu, South Korea, is at the forefront of immersive video technology. Built at the end of a peninsula, the space was designed by Asymptote Architecture with the intention of creating a dialogue with the surrounding environment. This is accomplished by its rooftop viewing platform and reflective pool, which are meant to make visitors question the reality of their environment and what they see before them.* *The building's exterior facade has been covered in silver ETFE pillows which not only insulates it and shields it from environmental damage but also adds to its otherworldly appearance. However, the ARC's exterior isn't the only futuristic part of this design. The interior of the pavilion houses a massive, continuous, nearly 200-foot long projection screen that wraps in a möbius strip style throughout the space that plays videos and imagery from the Four Rivers restoration project launched by Korea in 2009 and completed in 2010.* *Check out the awesome video, below, to see the state-of-the-art projection technology used within.* Completed: June 2012 Size: 3,200 m2 Location: Daegu, South Korea Architect: Asymptote Architecture Design Principlas: Hani Rashid, Lise Anne Couture Project Directors: Josh Dannenberg, John Guida Design Team: Brian Deluna, Duho Choi Allison Austin, Rebecca Caillouet, Gabriel Huerta, John Hsu, Susan Kim, Ryan Macyauski, Yun Shi, Penghan Wu, Hong Min Kim Client: Kwater Korea Local Architect: EGA Seoul Structural Engineer: Knippers Helbrig Stuttgard **** <http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/worldmalayaliclub/> *வாழிய செந்தமிழ்! வாழ்க நற்றமிழர்!* *வாழிய பாரதமணித் திருநாடு!* *[image: cid:[email protected]] V a n a k **k a m S u** b b u * [image: cid:[email protected]] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
