Japanese architecture studio Kengo Kuma and Associates introduced a look at the Audeum Museum located in Seoul. It is wrapped by layers of aluminum pipes which are formed to mimic the changes in natural light. They are arranged to represent natural order and disorder to reflect the beauty of light.
This is all located in the country's Gangnam district to stimulate all senses for visitors as they explore the space. The team explains more about the audio museum, "It is a place where you can not only see but also experience sound firsthand. Moreover, it is not just a place to listen to sound, it is an architectural instrument that returns humans to a natural state, allowing them to experience the five senses of the body."
