House of Open Books
Paju-si, South Korea
Located in Paju Book City, the building is “Bookshelf Type,” where
the area contains various publishing houses, and buildings, restricted to four stories, appear as
volumes, or books, along the shelf or street.
Open Books publishes a variety of translated books, from
Russian Literature to German Philosophy. The initial concept for the space is
derived from the act of translation; two parallel lines, ie languages, which
appear to converge at a single point, but never actually meet. The interiors of
each bar building are sectionally diverse, organized by ramps connected at
differing levels.
From the Han River on one side to the Simhak Mountain on
the other, each bar building is organized through folded walls to produce
continuous perception and circulation where enclosed bar spaces are layered
with interstitial voids. The two bar buildings are composed of an artificial
landscape connecting the varying levels; the unbuilt Center for Translators has
circulation centered around a folded translucent glass screen, where light penetrates
as one moves through. The built office building is navigated through a folding
concrete wall which wraps the edges of the structure as the subject engages the
folded boundary.
