Water Wind Stone Museum

Humans who met nature, Supung 'Seok' Museum Part 3 - Samdado One of Jeju's Samdas is 'stone'. Stone is the only natural material that changes its shape and properties in response to any external force. It is weathered by the flow of wind and water, and it changes its nature to high temperature and pressure. And if you look at the rocky mountain, you can give it a hard and heavy feeling, but when you climb the rocky mountain, you can get a dynamic and imbalanced view at the same time through the steeply piled stone towers. So this stone is probably the least deformable, but it is a deformable material. - This stone hardly changes the phase of the place, but its exterior and interior are constantly changing. - This 'Stone Museum' preserves the nature of stone as it is. - The outer surface is an oxide steel plate [corten steel]. Over time, the surface of the iron plate turns red as it oxidizes. This is not weakening. You can think of it as the principle that only the surface is coated with oxidized ash. In other words, the inside is as strong as a stone without any problems. The exterior of the building, which is in the form of a square rectangle, gives a feeling of weight like a large stone resting heavily on a rocky mountain. And on one side, there is a cylindrical hole at the intersection of the ceiling and the wall. The entrance to the inside is also heavy. Deep door. When you open the door and enter, the space is surrounded by oxidized iron plates. The floor also seems to be made of iron to match the size of the tile. A ray of light descends from the oxidized interior. Light falls on the rock work placed in the middle of the space. This is the scene that Yoo Dong-ryong intended. Between 1-2 o'clock a light is placed on this stone. And as time passes, the light continues to change the shape of the interior as it travels along the wall. In front of the entrance, there is a terrace with one wall cut out as it is. Is it correct to call it a podium here? A stone peach resembling Sanbangsan is placed on the Buddha's hand. It is similar to the appearance of Sanbangsan that overlaps behind it. This work, which is said to be placed toward the Buddha at Sanbanggulsa Temple, makes the meaning of this space more profound. - In this way, the outside and inside constantly change over time. and keep this place. - I can feel the architecture of the teacher who tried to deepen the human soul through space. The most unavoidable external force is time. What shape should we change in this time? Perhaps, a location that does not change like this space should be made clear. - This is the #Supungseok Museum, a space that illuminates humans through Samda stones in Jeju. - Location _ Biotopia Supungseok Museum, 79, Sanroknam-ro 762beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do - Parking available - Available hours _ 13:30, Part 1, Part 1, Part 2 [Refer to website for hours other than winter], Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays - Reservation _ Biotopia website - Fees _ General adults 25,000, disabled people 12500, Jeju residents 12500
