exhibition features the early works of Itami Jun, which focused on materiality
and essence, proposing balance with nature through architecture, as well as his
later works that explored architecture as a mediator in the relationship
between nature and humanity. Leading the exhibition is humanitarian architect
Ban Shigeru, known for proposing balance and practical solutions with the
environment through his paper architecture. Contemporary artists such as Bahk
Seon Ghi, Kang Seung Chul, Han Won Suk, Cho So Yeon, and Tacit Group also
participate, exploring sustainable directions for future societies.
Through
this second exhibition, the museum raises the critical issue of "balance
between nature and humanity," encouraging reflection and fostering empathy
toward the "coexistence and recovery" through awareness, while aiming
to inspire small yet significant changes.
