The building is perfectly designed by poly.m.ur.

The Jeju University Cultural Heritage Center and its detail

The Jeju University Cultural Heritage Center seems very contemporary. The use of basalt rock imagery for entire appearance of the building becomes the effective iconic symbol. Entirely, the existing building of Jeju University Cultural Heritage Center takes a location on a triangular plot, while the overall massing is based on the trigonal pyramid which is formed by 4 equal regular triangles. poly.m.ur designed the building based on urban condition and it went very well.

A glance review of Jeju University Cultural Heritage Center based on archdaily.com

“The design of the new Jeju Cultural Heritage Centre started from an attempt to interpret the cultural value of the traditional artifacts that are to be exhibited here with contemporary view. poly.m.ur was intrigued by the fact that these artifacts are exemplary in showing the influence of regional material on the life of early settlers, and they wanted their proposal to be seen as an object which can symbolize the local characteristics shaped by the abundant availability of basalt as raw material and the indigenous techniques of tool making.
The building sits on a triangular plot, and the overall massing is based on the trigonal pyramid which is formed by 4 equal regular triangles. The entire massing is modular to this trigonal pyramid and therefore can be clad entirely by equal regular triangle pan-els. To introduce flexibility, poly.m.ur designed 5 types of triangular glass-reinforced concrete panels with different sizes of openings, and with combination of rotating possibilities; these panels can create almost infinite number of combinations.
