National Museum of World Writing
The proposed Museum of World Writing is located at Central park of Songdo International Business District known as 'ubiquitous city'. Since this city of 1500 acres is build from the scratch on reclaimed land from Sea, the proposed form respect and consider this aspect as well as the actual site within which the building will sit.
The site is of odd geometry where essentially three geometrical shapes fuse together to form a shape with eight edges.
The proposed building form reciprocate these aspects and harmonize not only to the site within the site (Central Park) but the whole built environment at vicinity, the new Songdo City, its port (second busiest in Korea) and to the countries' busiest airport as the site is situated parallel to the city's main access to the airport.
The museum is sitting on a podium shape which is influenced by site's geometry as well as waterfront and the various direct and secondary access routes to the central park.
Since public spaces are most essential element of any city, which not only influence the lives of individual but society as a whole. This museum is intended to be belonged to everyone and design incorporates these essential and practical aspects delivering a truly functional pragmatic museum.
Design Concept - in Continuation
A museum is the symbol of regeneration, preservation and continuation and this has been the essence of our proposed design process.
The design for the National Museum of World Writing is based on intuitive and sympathetic approach to the context, nature of site and Songdo city as a whole. The vast scale of site , the central park , the reclaimed land from sea, the location of Songdo within Incheon City, the high rise office towers in surrounding and the purpose of museum itself assists to provide the clues for design concept.
The design is intended to enhance , create, reinvent the missing or existing key pedestrian link, built mass and other open spaces of the central park and its immediate built urban environment. The idea is to have a museum building which is welcoming and friendly to public and appropriately embraces site surrounding and context without dominating it.
The museum building is sitting on an elevated plinth / podium. The plinth consists of basement which is housing the parking, services, the storage , special exhibition gallery, and a central atrium with cafe. Two connecting entries are introduced for visitors to improve the connectivity at this level and eventually to the building as whole.
Design Concept - Abstract
The discovery of first metal by man becomes his first step towards modernization and arguably the invention of script is 'first step to the path leading to civilization'. The invention of written script is what may have distinguished and established human's superiority over animals. Therefore it won't be an over statement to make that 'Written script invention is probably the greatest invention of human's during Bronze-age to Iron- age.''
The first discovery of metal was Copper followed by bronze and ultimately Iron. The continuity of this period is displayed by using and exhibiting the COR-TEN Steel as main cladding material. These facade's cladding will have ancient language symbols and scripted and cut-through them. The similar pattern of Language Scripts engraved in concrete and also displayed on the translucent glass - the emitting light in night will exhibit and remind the city of relevance of this invaluable treasure.
The building also consists of eight Large columns which are intentionally designed as little disproportionate to the form. The idea behind is to represent the 'known eight direction' across the globe - of which this museum belongs to. The columns are inclined to have an origin beneath the earth - somewhere below the museum itself - The torch light from them to the sky - will be represent the infinity - a tribute to all the lost and undocumented world scripts - which took centuries to evolve and then lost forever - without a trace..
Building layout and form
The proposed building layout is simple and symmetrical, the architecture in center is open and raw resulting in a public building which is clean, efficient and visually and functionally legible. The building is non imposing in terms of shape and size - giving freedom to the visitors as how to use it.
The museum building by its compact 'Zero' inverted shape and variation in height helps to retain the integrity of the central park and surrounding by respecting the open character of park and area around. Main public functions are easily accessed with a clear separation of private and service functional spaces. The building shapes doesn't have any sharp edges thus retaining the continuity on the external skin of building - avoiding essentially any rear or front and thus keeping the balance of visitors moment from all side .
The museum makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of the central park.
The corridors and the projected balconies around the central atrium will encourages people to flow within this public building uninterruptedly. The delicately assembled fragmented volumes will create logical passages in between, which will allow the visitors to break from long corridors and also offers the flexibility about use of space. The proposed design promotes openness and boost public engagement. Visitors will be able to enjoy and appreciate the exhibits and the building itself while walking through these simple magnificent but generous corridors.
The lavish passage in-between the exhibition galleries will be a complementary open space. The comfortable atmosphere creating an contradictory feeling of being social and familiar.
Gracing the Park and waterfront
The distinctive yet elegantly 'sculptured -like' appearance sitting majestically on podium provides a charismatic addition to the park and city skyline. Clearly visible by its distinctive yet fitting shape and size in cluster of akin high rise buildings. The museum building taking advantage of spectacular setting of park and waterfront will leave a remarkable imprint on the visitors arriving either by land , sea (part) or air (airport).
The Museum Building - with circulation Strategy
Once in Museum the central staircase is the primary vertical circulation. It is split on either side of exhibition galleries and public spaces. A linear straight stair reaches directly to the second floor's Education area and Library.
The functional spaces are also connected through two ramps - parallel to each other. The internal ramp and the roof of internal ramp is denoted as external ramp - The internal ramps connects the Ground floor to First and Second floor and ascends within the void along with longitudinal southern side of the building offering a majestic view of the park. The external ramp (roof of the internal ramp will have uninterrupted access to top terrace to the public from outside the museum. On the North East side. The external stairs takes visitors to the lower terrace and there will be provision for the Museum staff to access the First floor office from these stairs.
Materials
COR-TEN Steel
The use of Cor-ten Steel as facade cladding pay homage to 'Copper to Iron Age" during which the various language scripture were evolved and developed from Copper-age to Bronze-age and then throughout Iron Age. The material as a facade skin will also be easy to maintain and with adequate paint coating protection will face the Sea's salt wind in desired and natural process - as the World's language scripts have been through.
Translucent Glass
The museum will makes best use of its ellipse shape with continuous ring of translucent glass & clear glass - which in day time create an atmosphere of transparency and of welcoming feeling and at night the multi-layer facade of translucent and clear glass diffuse and reflects the internal light making the museum as a lamp / lantern of this park.
Conclusion
The proposed 'National Museum of World Writing' will ultimately be a unique, conveniently accessible and a very public building. It will be effectively a new addition to destination's of Songdo city along with waterfront and Central park.
This monumental yet elegant and imposing building will not only be an addition to Incheon but a tribute to the "all known and undiscovered , documented and unrecorded, prevailing and forgotten' World Scripts.
This timeless and priceless treasured collection of humanity which continuously and constantly evolved from 'Stone-Age' through Iron-age to present 21st Century needs equally commensurate building - if not less.
The proposed building is designed to meet most of these aspects and design requirements - if not all.

Future residents of Hagley Road Village were able to see their apartments for the first time. The Village is due to open in October.
Started work on a new project, an asp.net 3.5 c# website. Loving 3.5 and Linq big-time. Coding furiously for a beta release. Desk tidyness went out the window a while ago, as did early nights and the rest.
This is the beginnings of the construction of the new Crown Farm mixed use development, located in the far Southwestern part of the city of Gaithersburg, in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. The development is being built on one of the last large, vacant parcels of land left in the heavily built up Central area of Montgomery County, Maryland, and was first proposed in 2004, but was delayed by the Nationwide economic slowdown, which caused the original developers for the project to go bankrupt. But, new developers were found, and after much anticipation and some earthwork on the site, construction of the actual buildings began in late September of last year 2012. The project will be built in several phases, with some of the later phases even possibly including some highrise buildings of up to about 15 to 20 floors in height. The first phase, seen here under construction, will include some multistory buildings of up to about five or six floors in height, with retail on the groung floor, and residences and/or offices in the floors above. Also included, I believe in the first phase, will be a Harris Teeter grocery store, but I'm not sure if it will be an urban-style store, at the ground floor of a multi-story building, or a more traditional single level store. There is a Harris Teeter in the ground level of an about 20 story highrise condo building in nearby Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland, which is why I thought that maybe the Harris Teeter in this development might have a similar layout. There are actually quite a few such urban-style retail stores existing or under construction in the area, including even the under construction first Wal-Mart store in Washington, DC itself, located just a few blocks North of the U.S. Capitol Building, on the ground level of an under construction seven story building that will have underground parking, the first two above ground stories with retail, including the about 76,000 square foot Wal-Mart and some smaller in-line retail, and five stories of residences above the retail stories. It would sure be cool to live in the same building as a Wal-Mart or other nice grocery store, though I'm not sure I would want to live in Washington, DC itself, since I've lived all my live in suburban style subdivisions, so that's what I'm used to. Gaithersburg is a Northern, middle ring suburb of Washington, DC, located in the Central area of Montgomery County, Maryland, that currently has a young and very diverse population of about 61,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is located just North of Washington, DC, is the most populated of the 24 counties in the U.S. state of Maryland, currently has a diverse population of about 990,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is the second most populated county in the vast Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, behind neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, which is in turn also the most populated county in the U.S. state of Virginia, with an also diverse current population of about 1.1 million people, and growing in population at about the same relatively fast rate as Montgomery County, Maryland.

This is a personal project to experiment with rebranding a global company.
Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. has been the world's largest information technology company by revenues since 2009. They have long been a major manufacturer of electronic components such as lithium-ion batteries, semiconductors, chips, flash memory and hard drive devices for clients such as Apple, Sony, HTC and Nokia. In recent years, the company has diversified into consumer electronics and is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones.
I have deigned Samsung's new logo to move their branding into the new 'wireless' age of technology. Many branches of their traditional product portfolio rely on internet/WiFi connections (i.e. computers and smart phones). However, as we move forward, other household goods are becoming more intelligent and reliant on WiFi technology. This results in the strengthening human's relationship with the wireless world.
The new logo softens the typeface and a symbol has been added to increase branding versatility. The symbol can be used with typography or autonomously. The merged 'U' and 'N' introduces a unique appearance to formal sans serif type
