Kim In-cheurl proposed an interesting radio station building and where the weather conditions aren’t something that can’t be mastered by the local know-how and materials. This is the reason why Kim In-cheurl chose to use thick stone walls to protect the building from the violent winds of the area. The walls are cut straight and form a protected corridor. However, inside, the stone wall is a glass wall that is more contemporary for the inner space. The modern lines deconstruct the thickness of the traditional materials and help the building to find the perfect balance between traditional and contemporary, while conveying a strange and soothing atmosphere.
Project Description by Archium architects
Himalesque in the plateau of Nepal and against its backdrop of unlimited nature, was another solution to the local climate conditions.
The local traditional boundary markers are constructed from spaces with a thick outer skin, in order to solve the condition of a plateau in a lump.
I paid attention to the deconstruction of the thickness of the boundary wall I divided the wall of enclosed space which is separated from the outside according to functions. A “gap” can be created in between the stone wall blocking wind and the glass wall, forming inner space.
Site conditions facing strong winds with changing directions, from rainy seasons to dry seasons, and environmental conditions require that a cool, unheated space is maintained, in spite of the extreme daily temperature differences, reorganized by contemporary methods with local materials.
The small garden in between the separated walls open up a space seemingly destined to be confined by a softening wind and full light exposure, making a ‘gap’ to establish its relationship with nature.
