OMA opens new building: Samsung Museum of Art

13 oktober 2004, 14:47
On October 13, 2004, a recently completed building by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) will open in Seoul, South Korea, as part of Samsung Museum of Art. The building covers a gross area of 13,500m2 for temporary contemporary exhibitions, media and office spaces.

Samsung Museum of Art project is a 27,000m2 masterplan designed by OMA in 1997. Located in Hannam-Dong - a residential district near the city centre - the complex comprises two other buildings by Mario Botta and Jean Nouvel for the permanent collection of traditional Korean art and modern/contemporary art collections respectively. The three buildings converge into a central mixing chamber that forms the lobby and information area.

The museum complex entry is through the OMA building via a ramp leading directly into the mixing chamber. The dominant feature of OMA's design is a massive black box, which confronts the visitor immediately at the entrance. The box is suspended within large excavation in the undulating topography creating varying light conditions within the space. Circulation is conceived around the experience of the black box by descending under it, into it and moving above it. This movement provides the visitor a rich experience of thedynamic relationship between the building, the site and the city.

Leeum Samsung Museum of Art is an initiative of the Samsung Cultural Foundation, which provides support for cultural and artistic activities. Other cultural institutions that are part of the Samsung Cultural Foundation are the Ho-Am Art Museum, Rodin Art Gallery and Samsung Children's Museum.

Local architect and engineer Samoo worked with OMA on the realization, while Arup of London was engineer of the master plan and the initial design for the museum.
