The installation has been developed by the winners of this year’s MoMA Young Architects Program in Seoul. Shin Hyung-Chul’s Shinslab Architecture has launched the office’s spatial proposal in one of the South Korean capital’s most important cultural institutions. The structure revealed, created in collaboration with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) and entitled ‘Temp’L’, is an smart designed recycling the bow a old ship.
Shinslab Architecture (Shin Hyung Chul) was highly recognized for its approach to reuse inner space of abandoned ship. Temp’L, Shinslab Architecture’s proposed work, revealed on the Museum courtyard, is a kind of architectural sculpture reminding us of the issues of industrialization, environment, human beings and ecology. The architect has invented the word Temp’L, a word coming from the two words of ‘temporary’ and ‘temple’, which means that this is a temporary pavilion for meditation during summer. This symbolic architecture shows a different design from previous YAP winners in Seoul.
The architect spent his childhood and training period in Europe, an vital experience that influenced on the project. Shin Hyung-Chul was always inspired by large ships that appear to float ‘in and out of Venice’s exquisite buildings’. The architect took those images and combined them with Le Corbusier’s modernist teachings, that often drew parallels between modern architecture and ocean liners.
Inside, - face outside surfaces, rusty and rough-, the structure contrasted by the geometries’ curved and painted on white. Conceived as an outdoor pavilion, featuring seating, the installation will serve as a resting area for the museum’s visitors.
Offering an opportunity to young architecture offices to showcase their work to an international audience, MoMA’s Young Architects Program operates in Italy, Turkey, Chile and South Korea; 2016 is its third year in Seoul and its 17th worldwide edition. Temp’L will be on show in the museum courtyard of MMCA, Seoul until 3 October.
