Jeju Provincial Art Museum by Gansam Partners

Seoul architects Gansam Partners have completed an art museum surrounded by a pool of water in Yon-Dong, South Korea.

Called Jeju Provincial Art Museum, the building is made of concrete and local stone.

A colonnade frames one corner of the structure, while the water reflects light into the interior.

The project incorporates a plaza for outdoor exhibitions and an open-air theatre.

Here’s some more information from the architects:

The natural beauty of Jeju Island serves as a backdrop for the artistic cultural experience of this museum.

Situated within the Halla Mountains, the design accentuates the surrounding natural environment through material selection and carefully designed views to the exterior.

The museum plan is designed as a circulation loop, creating exterior and interior exhibition space. The program of the museum is planned for research, conservation, exhibition and education.
