The essence of architecture is felt as a work of art when it attains a sense of ‘Place' which contains our lives. Furthermore, it is more so when it attains a 'Meaning' beyond the 'Place', which drives our lives forward. Life is a process of realizing our innermost potential. It produces numerous relations in the process. Therefore, life is a stream of realizations of individual dreams on this network of relations. If architecture should contain and construct this network of our lives, the first thing that architecture should accomplish is to bring together |

'you' and 'I'. Further, architecture should unite various forces at the base of this network of relations with 'Place', 'Space', and the ‘Context’ and ‘Sense’ of things. Architecture of this museum is focused on creating the bridge-'Place'-to bring people together, especially, the bridge between us and Park Soo Keun - his art, his life, and the artist himself. It is hoped that through creation of this 'Place', our will to life will be strengthened. As the museum was designed to give an opportunity for people to experience Park's creative processes at work and his life, the sequence of spaces which enable us to understand his art emerged as the most important aspect of the architectural design process. I sculpt the museum in the ground.
