One Day Poem Pavilion

Designed by Jiyeon Song
The results of an extensive exploration with shadows, the One Day Poem Pavilion demonstrates the poetic, transitory, site-sensitive and time-based nature of light and shadow.
Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilions surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, whichduring specific times of the yeartransform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. The time-based nature of the poemand the visitors time-based encounters with itallow viewers to have different experiences either seeing a stanza of the poem or getting the whole poem. All of these possible experiences are equally valuable and have meanings unique to the individual. This technique has the potential for producing particular effects and meanings within an architectural environment. Without the use of a source of power other than the sun, this project uses light and shadow to push the boundaries of communication and experiential delight.

Can someone please tell me where this piece of art is located? I've been searching all over the internet, but I can't find it. Are there perhaps more of these? I'd love to visit one in real!
