* 굴착의 궤적이 빚어낸 대지의 건축 [ MIDW ] Resting Pavilion in Osaka Expo

728x90

어떤 집도 언덕 위에, 혹은 어떤 것 위에 지어져서는 안 된다. 집은 언덕의 일부여야 하며, 그곳에 속해야 한다. - 프랭크 로이드 라이트 (Frank Lloyd Wright)

MIDW-Resting Pavilion in Osaka Expo

[매립지의 한계를 디자인으로 딛다]
엑스포 개최지인 유메시마는 본래 지반이 연약한 매립지입니다. 이곳에 건축물을 세우려면 반드시 해결해야 할 과제가 있었습니다. 지반이 무리 없이 견딜 수 있도록, 앞으로 지어질 파빌리온의 무게만큼 현장의 흙을 미리 파내야만 했습니다. 토사 반출에 드는 막대한 비용과 환경적 부담을 마주한 설계팀은 이 불가피한 땅 파기 작업 자체에 건축적 의미를 담기로 결정합니다. 땅을 파내는 토목 공사가 곧 공간의 형태를 빚어내는 디자인의 출발점이 된 것입니다. 이는 대지를 인위적으로 거스르지 않고 자연스러운 지형에 순응하며 공간을 만들던 한국 전통 건축의 미학과도 자연스럽게 이어집니다.

[땅을 거푸집 삼아 공간을 빚어내다]
설계팀은 먼저 부지 전체를 둥글게 파내어 오목한 골짜기와 볼록한 언덕을 교차시켰습니다. 흙을 덜어내어 땅의 부담을 줄이는 동시에 대지 위에 율동적인 흐름을 만들어낸 것입니다. 그런 다음, 이렇게 굽이치는 지형 자체를 거대한 거푸집으로 삼아 철망 구조의 지붕을 덮고 형태를 잡았습니다. 모양이 완성된 지붕은 번쩍 들어 올려져 평면상에서 구십 도 회전한 뒤 다시 땅 위에 내려앉습니다. 이 정교한 과정을 거치면서 굽이치는 바닥과 허공에 뜬 지붕 사이에는 마치 아늑한 동굴처럼 하나로 트인 빈 공간이 태어납니다.

[경계를 넘어 자연과 관계 맺는 쉼터]
이렇게 만들어진 대지의 굴곡은 고유한 방향성을 띠며 파빌리온 안팎의 풍경을 하나로 연결합니다. 사람들은 능선을 따라 걷고 뛰거나 굽이치는 바닥에 편안히 기대어 쉴 수 있습니다. 지붕의 틈새로는 하늘과 싱그러운 녹음이 쏟아져 들어오며, 지형의 축을 따라 뻗어 나가는 다채로운 풍경들이 공간 깊숙이 스며듭니다. 물리적인 벽이 없는 이 열린 공간 안에서 방문객과 자연은 끊임없이 새로운 관계를 맺습니다.

[깊은 여운을 남기며 숲으로 돌아갈 준비]
언덕 위에 심어둔 등나무는 지붕의 철망을 타고 무성하게 자라나 바닥에 짙은 그늘을 드리웁니다. 건축물이 완성된 후에도 식물들이 공간을 덮어가며 하나의 새로운 생태계를 만들어 가는 셈입니다. 만약 엑스포가 끝난 뒤에도 이 파빌리온이 철거되지 않는다면 어떻게 될까요. 자라나는 등나무와 주변 식물들이 건축물을 부드럽게 감싸 안으며 곁에 있는 숲과 함께 숨 쉴 것입니다. 그리고 오랜 시간이 흐른 뒤에는 대지 위에 깊은 여운을 남기는 한 폭의 아름다운 폐허로 남아 자연의 품으로 온전히 돌아갈 것입니다.

Yumeshima, the site of the Expo, is a reclaimed island with inherently weak ground conditions. As a prerequisite for construction, a volume of soil equivalent to the weight of the proposed building had to be removed from the site.

In response to the substantial cost and environmental impact associated with soil disposal, the project seeks to assign architectural value to this unavoidable act. We therefore adopted an approach that emerges directly from the operation of excavation itself.

The entire site is excavated into a sequence of alternating hollows and mounds, simultaneously enabling soil removal while generating a rhythmic topography. A roof is then cast using this terrain as formwork, lifted, rotated 90 degrees on plan, and placed back onto the ground. In doing so, a continuous, cave like void is created between the earth's undulating surface and the raised roof.

The directional qualities produced by the uneven ground establish relationships with what lies beyond it other visitors running and resting across the terrain, the fresh green foliage and sky unfolding above the ridges, and perhaps an unseen world extending along the axis of the repeated landforms.

Wisteria planted on the mounds climbs over the rising roof surface, casting shade on the ground while nurturing a new ecosystem. If allowed to remain after the Expo rather than being demolished, the structure would gradually become an evocative ruin, enveloped in wisteria and other vegetation as it grows together with the adjacent forest.
