Natural Elements Cultural Center and Coral Observatory in Jeju Island, South Korea
Rooted in the natural elements of Jeju’s unique context: earth (TERRA), air (ZEPHYR), and water (OCTO), the design aims to pay homage to the volcanic terrain, powerful sea breeze and the dynamic waves that shape Jeju’s identity.
*In collaboration with M. Arch graduate students: Parth Solanki and Shrilaxmi Nair
