Starry Night

2018 | Poetry Museum

Burn-out modern people have been increasing in high demanding society. Many people resort to poems for comfort or a solution for life in an involved, fast phased community in this trend. Korean poetry has developed and communicated with readers since 100 years ago, the beginning stage of modern history. Korean poem allows people to resolve their oppression in the turbulent South Korean history and reflect different lives, emotions, and sarcasm. This project proposes an exhibition space where people can relieve stress, heal the bruise, and comfort Korean Poems.

The site is in the middle of Nam Mt in central Seoul, the right place for people to focus on internal minds and meditate by escaping hectic daily lives. This museum will tell how poetry has served as a mediator of healing in times and history. That comfort will expand to individual lives and experiences.

After passing by the exhibition hall presenting poetry in darkness, people will meet sunrise in the morning in this space. The deep height and tranquil atmosphere of the room tend to brighten the personal night.

In the evening

Among such many stars

One star looks down on me

I look at one of the stars

From so many people.

Children may contact children's poems while playing cheerfully. This space intended for children to learn verses naturally through experience and play with the theme, "Playground in the woods."
