Daejon Science Center

The Science Center of Daejon has been realized renewing an existing cylindrical pavilion on the occasion of Daejon Expo. Our project for the competition consists of maintaining the steel structure of the original shell only, transforming the exterior rigid existing cover into a transparent cylinder shaped building in which all different functions gather in a cluster. The Ground Floor is a completely permeable area with no interruption between lake, woods and the existing large squares so that the Hall (main entrance) becomes an open public area with trees and a cafeteria in the inside.
