The ARC FLASHBACK: Water, Sky, and Nature

"The architecture of the River Culture Pavilion ( ARC ) is an powerful formal statement that combines nature, technology and space to delineate a bold and striking architectural statement set  against the awe inspiring natural surroundings that encircle the buildings river side perch. The bold curved form of the ARC is a strong focal point set against the panoramic surroundings.  The material treatment of the buildings exterior contributes to the ethereal atmospheric quality of the pavilions presence on this site. In close proximity the building seems cloud like while from afar it is a striking sculpted form mimicking a natural rock like formation.  The ARC is designed to be in a symbiotic dialogue with it's surroundings and the environs of Daegu in celebration of the importance and powerful experiences of water and nature."

"The main architectural program of the ARC is that it houses a state of the art multimedia theater and spaces for innovative and tradition exhibitions. Within the architecture video, light, sound and movement all combine to produce a technological architecture symbiotically tethered to the natural surroundings and their phenomena and beauty. The visitor’s experience of this mediated environment takes place while moving through the pavilion’s exhibitions, culminating on the rooftop. From this elevated vantage point, on a roof terrace a pool of a water mirrors the vast sky above affording one another perspective on nature's profound beauty as framed by the ARC’s architecture."

ARC (River Culture Pavilion)는 자연과, 기술과, 공간을 결합하여, 강변을 두르고, 자연 환경에 대한 경외감 일으키는, 대담하며 인상적인 건축로, 표현한 서사시입니다. 대담한 곡선 형태의 ARC는 파노라마 환경을 배경으로, 강력한 시각의 점을 찍었습니다.

가까이에서 건물은 구름처럼 보이지만 멀리서 보면 자연적인 암석과 같은 모양의 인상적인 조각입니다. ARC는 물과 자연의 중요성과 소중함을 체험 또한 주변 대구시의 환경과 공생 대화하도록 설계되었습니다.

WITHWORKS 팀은 The ARC의 비정형 외장 전문가로 참여를 하였습니다. 주 골조는 철골과 콘크리트로 설계, 시공이 되었고, 외장곡면의 웅장함과 미묘한 디테일은 WITHWORKS의 Digital Engineering 기술로 완성을 시켰습니다.
