Interpolation
Interpolation is an art gallery designed within Seokchon Lake Park in Seoul. The park contains a lake and two separate ring paths, one inner and one outer, divided by a four meter difference in elevation. The gallery forms an organic passage that links the two paths and creates a new gateway into the park. The building mass is clad in curved aluminum panels, and the deck that meets the landscape is finished in exposed concrete. Ground source heat pumps and roof photovoltaic panels reduce energy use. The intent is to bring art into daily life.
Interpolation Art Gallery by ChungYeon Won was identified as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Interpolation Art Gallery earned the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize that rewards excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
