갤러리의 특이한 형상, 특히 지붕의 형상은 건축과 자연의 교감 속에
발생한 파동의 결과물이다. 공원내 식재된 기존 캠퍼나무와의 관계 속에
건축된 갤러리는 특히 지붕은 나무의 동심원의 장력을 건축공간 속에
반영하며 움푹파여진 중첩된 곡선들을 만든다. 그리고 그대로 건축, 갤러리가 된다.
여기에 이러한 아이텐티한 형상을 지지하는 기둥은 곡선의 꼭지점에 위치하며 갤러리 내부를
외부와 막힘없는 소통공간으로 구현시킨다.
숲속에 한가로이 걸려 있는 해먹이 떠오른다. 평화로이...

the suspended roof structure of this art gallery by japanese architecture firm SUEP./hirokazu suemitsu + yoko suemitsu, gives the impression of a hammock hanging in a forest. located in a new park in fukuoka, japan the building is surrounded by large camphor trees, which help to define the building's exterior form. merging the natural landscape with the internal spaces web-like cut outs from both the roof and floor plate enclose the trees, enhancing the structure's unusual form.
the roof surface gently curves downwards, following
the force of gravity into catenary shape - similar to the hanging motion
of a hammock. the floor and roof are both constructed with steel,
concrete composite slabs supported by column walls between the trees,
that are an extension of the piles in the ground. the exterior form
blends the outside and inside spaces, while the roof structure acts as a
canopy for the interior patio - open on both sides it welcomes people
in from the park. visitors to the gallery will not only appreciate the
works on display, they will also experience a restful atmosphere similar
to lying on a hammock in the forest.
