Architectural Overview

Harmonious Architecture Harmunious Architecture

While adapting to the coastline, Mount Wolmi, and Wolmido's skyline, we applied a design with symbolic significance, creating an architectural design that harmonizes with its surroundings while maintaining its symbolic value through the façade design, considering both formative and symbolic aspects.

Design Concept

My Sea, Our Future

The National Maritime Museum believes it must embody our sea.

We need a new concept of interaction that enriches and enlivens life with the sea by presenting our ocean in a familiar and vibrant way.

Showcasing our maritime history, territory, historical figures, and even familiar fish that appear on our tables makes this a meaningful place where visitors can directly see, touch, and feel the abundance of our seas.

Sustainable Museum

Environmentally friendly architecture is the most future-oriented approach. If a maritime museum contains the sea, it is like containing nature itself.

Light-filled spaces, streamlined forms that deflect strong sea winds, and the use of eco-friendly materials such as fibrous ceiling materials and wood for both interior and exterior not only ensure efficient energy savings but also present a psychologically sustainable vision for the future.
