College of Arts, Seoul National University 1999
Located on a very steep slope at the edge of the campus compromising the difference in level, the college of arts building accommodates colleges of music and fine arts. A 300-seat performance hall and small practice rooms, studios along with regular lecture rooms are clustered in two buildings shaped in an arc around the circular cul-de-sac plaza. The plaza can serve as a stage for outdoor performance while serving as the main access to the building. In contrast to the existing sculpture-like building near-by, the new building is clad with granite and glass with a contemporary look.
