Nam June Paik was for sure the main attractor to gain our interest for this competition. To develop a building basing on his topics nature and technology brought the concept to a „reciprocal presupposition“, where each topic reacts and influences the other. The building is transformed, generated and dissolved by nature and technology, and vice versa. Instead of defining an opposition between these issues the project is about the discovery of their interaction.

Situated in the cultural park of Sanggal, the museum is part of a cultural landscape of various institutions, added to the international centre of culture and art in the Province of Kyonggi. Out of the special demands of the museum, the content and the context, we proposed a museum that fluctuates between building, topography and interface – to put it into our discourse-terminology: a blurred icon.
