Can the ark survive natural disasters? - '*Noah built a boat according to God's command, and loaded his family and seven clean male and female animals, one male and female unclean animal, and seven male and female birds to escape the flood. [*Genesis Quotation]' This is a famous story. This is a story that both Christians and non-Christians have heard of. The story of Noah's Ark, a great flood to punish fallen mankind, and a special revelation was given only to 'Noah', who lived a good life, to build an ark so that he could survive with various animals. Under the broad framework of 'Kwon Seon-Jing-Ak', this story has been loved by many people regardless of religion. - However, the author is most interested in the 'ark' in this story. The ark was said to be 135 m long, 50 m wide and 13.5 m high. Its size is recorded in Genesis 6:14-16. So, if you consider this with the space of modern society, you can think of it as a flat flat apartment of about 40 stories lying on the ground. Looking at the painting 'Noah's Ark' by the American folk artist 'Ed Wood Higgs', I drew an image of the ark according to the scale, and it looked interesting. It consists of three stories, and a long gable roof is mounted on the ship. And several pairs of animals lined up on the boat. The windows are quite small for their size. Since it is a great flood, it seems that they were trying to minimize the places where water could seep in, and to create a minimum ventilation and light environment. If there is one thing that stands out in particular, the four windows on the upper level of the front part are drilled into the positions of the ends of the crosses. Judging from the location of this window, it can be hypothesized that the interior is structured like a chapel rather than having rooms and hallways. - And that hypothesis is seen in today's space. - From the name, it is the Ark Church. It's not about the scale according to the record, but the ratio and proportions can be said to have been taken from it. And the shape of the gable roof and the story of floating on water were visualized as it is. Furthermore, it can be predicted that the window placed in the front part is a chapel. Just like the painting above. - The difference is that this ark was originally composed of three floors excluding the ship, but there is only one floor above the ground. Instead, there is a basement, so I wonder if it would be right to see that part by boat. Since the scale has been reduced only by following the proportions, the interior is inevitably composed of one floor. However, the exterior of the building is finished with wood, probably because of the record that it was made of pine wood. And you can experience the way to enter by boat through the stone bridge in the garden. This space contains this sequence. - I looked around and imagined all the stories and spaces. - What if we were living in a depravity and there was an Absolute who tried to punish us? Is there any room for us to survive against the power of the Absolute? So, looking at the situation in more detail, this time, instead of a flood, if we try to punish us with natural disasters that we can't handle, such as 'mass earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis', there is a safe space where we can survive. will exist? - none. impossible. If we don't leave Earth, it's impossible. - But that situation, set in detail, is perhaps the story that is coming to an end. Have you not experienced it all with your body? Rather than simply calling it 'abnormal weather' and not giving as much awareness as the simple word composition. In reality, we know that awareness from experience. This is actually a very serious story. No one can solve it by doing well. If we really compare it to everyday life, 'It is a team project where about 100 freshmen freshmen at the university, each of them doing their part well, making one PPT and presenting it.' So I have no choice but to let go. Even 4 people are hard, but 100 people is actually 6 billion team play. But did you say that it was called “Mountain of Dust”? Even if 100 people diligently make one page at a time, 100 stories can be told. So, I try to do the best I can in my position. It may be important to try as hard as you can. - Isn't this symbolic space illuminating our lives now through the story that was recorded that it existed in the past [they admitted that there was no fact]? thought that - This is the #ark church, a symbolic space that asks the responsibility of mankind. - Location _ 113 Sanroknam-ro 762beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do - Parking available - Available hours for visiting the chapel _ 09 - 17:00 - PS.
