Overview

Gimpo Gamjeong-dong Church

Even at the lowest cost, simplicity alone cannot be said to achieve an economic goal.

Many complex factors are variables, but speaking only of form, I am convinced that when constructability, rational detailing, and process efficiency are reviewed in advance and designed together, producing good sculptural effect can in fact pursue economic profit.

For the plan and section of the pulpit and worship hall, a perspectival, focus-drawing spatial concept of the medieval church as a sanctuary was attempted — the side indirect-lighting clerestory, the skylight above the pulpit, and the scale diminishing to the left, right, and above.

Exposed concrete was applied where no additional process such as insulation was needed, to reduce the burden of increased cost from high-quality construction while achieving a certain effect.
