A project that speculates upon the dialogue between typography and typology, where the conversation results to ground and expand the architectural possibilities of the notions of characters. The project is a museum of writting located in SongDo, Incheon. Where the context is very vertical in contrast to the flat expansive site.

Typology is the “Shed”, where itself is deployed in a way that it is shifted, multiplied and reoriented in an oblique manner to contrast the site. The arrangment allows for multiple spaces to function as an individual or as a conjoined spaces depending on the programs. This allows for programatic division amongst the museum and also allows for directed circulation. The typology creates an introduction to typography aspects of the project.

Typography, creation of semantical characters formed by silhouettes. Creates these figural characters that behaves like a font. The creation originated from geometrical aspects of the Han Gul. The circles, the orthagonals and the notchs. Visible throughout the project both elevational and in plan as figural profiles, cutouts and pathways. The verticality of the context made sure that the characters could be seen through plans through adjacent buildings.

The end of typology is the beginning of typography. Both metaphoircally and literally. The figural idea of writting a sentence, where it would have words and spaces applies on to the project itself. Creating a physcial manifestation and the embodiement of Aksara. A perfect habitat for the collection of word art.
