A Way to Enter and Leave a Museum

  • Wonju, South Korea, 2019
  • Competition

Museum SAN, designed by Tadao Ando and set in Korea’s breathtaking natural landscape, seamlessly integrates art and architecture with the changing seasons. The project refines the visitor experience by replacing a conventional ticket-checking booth with a ‘wall,’ ‘path,’ and ‘garden’ that subtly delineate entry and exit routes. This approach enhances the museum’s landscape, artworks, and architecture, with a dark corridor leading to a bright flower garden at the entrance and a serene path through a birch grove to a tranquil garden and art shop at the exit., normal
