3. Exterior
An ultra-large media facade faces the visitors with Korea’s signature white finishing style apparent on the sides and the flowing lines of the entrance and exit speak to Korea’s design sensibilities.
4. Interior
Hansanmosi
Features : Long used in Korea, the fiber is extracted by hand from the mosi plant (ramie) by masters of the craft and is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Hansanmosi is meticulously woven by the hands of masters for a refined luster and super breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and durability. In the Republic of Korea Pavilion, hansanmosi gently filters sunlight to produce a subtle mood.
Significance : The painstaking handwork demanding a mastery of skill and patience placed hansanmosi among the ranks of Important Intangible Cultural Heritage (No. 14, 1967) and UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage (2011) in recognition of its traditional value and historical meaning. Hansanmosi in the Republic of Korea Pavilion represents the spirit of each individual weaving together a shared heritage and culture.
5. Media Facade
Experience Korea’s technology, nature, people, traditions, and rich arts scene upon the massive 27m×10m media facade. From the giant ring structure surrounding the Expo site visitors can take in the entire Expo landscape and the Republic of Korea Pavilion media facade adds to the panoramic experience.
