I will become a poem, - Jeju Island is an island with beautiful natural scenery. It is an island that is loved by Koreans as it is a natural landscape that is hard to see in Korea other than Jeju. Not to mention overseas. If I had to pick one reason I came here, it was because the experience here was beautiful. I can gain a sense of writing through this experience. Today's space became one of the inspirations for this Jeju series of stories. - A space located on the beach road in the northeast of Jeju Island. After running for 30 minutes from the dormitory, I got off the taxi that was running with that peace and I saw an abandoned building. Contrary to the shape of the building's head, the surrounding area is well decorated with beautiful landscapes. What caught my interest in this space before coming here was how it looked like the first photo of the day. Therefore, I did not know that this space was connected to several buildings and contained a story. And that ignorance is the reason why I wandered for a while not knowing where to enter the building after arriving here. - Fortunately, if you look carefully, the concrete on the gravel will give you directions in which to go. As I entered the road, I was able to reach the cafe station safely. The first thing we did was look at the bread. I was hungry because I had not been able to eat well and had traveled a long distance. Here you can see the menu with Jeju's specialties. I ordered a coffee with a croissant with Udo peanuts and some bread. - And go down to the basement. All spaces are made of concrete, but only this staircase is finished with wood to make it stand out. As you go down the stairs, you can see the sea that you couldn't have imagined from above in the front window. The land above the sea rocks was also well trimmed to prepare a Jeju-like landscaping. Seeing that people were sitting with their bodies turned toward the sea, I could tell that they had the same mind as me. We also unload our luggage on the quiet side and wait for bread and coffee. I was hungry. As soon as the vibrating bell rang, it went up quickly. And eat bread in a hurry. Post-meal view of Mt. Geumgang. I agree. When the boat is full, you can see the sea garden decorated here. When you come out to look around, the scent of life that has not been transmitted through the glass comes over in the sea breeze. The fresh and refreshing scent of the sea. As I walked along the road, I arrived at the entrance of the abandoned factory seen from above. This is a gallery. - Go back to the entrance of that abandoned space again. The entrance hinted that this place was well prepared. The entrance is a two-way sliding door made of new iron. I heard the sound effect of 'Chwiiik' in my ears at the magnificent opening. As soon as the door opens, the focused vanishing point takes away my vision. And look at the white light in the distance. I thought of that light as a ceiling light. 'Did you try to express the infinite world?' A brief thought passes. As you walk along the prepared road, you can see the sea outside on the right side of the abandoned building. And see the group dances made by mechanical arms in the space. They are enjoying this place by adapting themselves to the space of unknown use. And I can't figure out the end of the dead-end staircase, but somehow I think I'll see something, so I go up. I see an amazing scene. About halfway up, I realized that this was just a large window, not a ceiling-like light. Instead of the abstract infinite world I had envisioned, it contained a visually endless sea. - Unexpectedly moved by the twist, I sit on the stairs and adapt myself to this space and enjoy it. - Now, you go down the stairs that look a little tough, unlike this interior space. The lower part of the building is rougher. It is as alien as the appearance of other devastated planets. However, he also walks down the curved road following the guidance of the material. Another abandoned building this time. When you open the door and enter, there is a fog on the ceiling. And in the center, something that flashes and emits a mystical atmosphere is settling down in the middle of the space as if a spaceship had landed. Take a few steps Now you have come close to the suspicious object. The inside looks cloudy. You can also see the brightly changing light. And when he returns, the other side of the mysterious object is revealed. - The first breath that came out after seeing the whole 'Who' exhibition. It contains tension. - Strangely, it is a minimal device that is not easy to understand, and the appreciation of the experience is left to me. This space is like poetry. At the very least, give a frame of thought in writing, but leave the conclusion to the reader. A few words placed in the middle of the white paper, and the blank space resembles this space. - So this space became poetry to me. - Parking available - A menu is attached. - PS. This space is operated in accordance with the Corona Prevention Guidelines of the Jeju Special Self-Governing City, so please refer to this to avoid any inconvenience in using the space. - Design _ Architects Office SF LAB
