The Rodin Museum in Seoul, Korea, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox to house two sculptures by Rodin, has been hailed as an architectural tour-de-force. Its undulating walls, entirely made of translucent glass, create a jewel-like, serene space far removed from the bustle of the Seoul business district, instead creating a place that blurs the differences between East and West, between art and commerce, and between the 19th and 21st century. This book outlines the creative design process, from conception through realization, involved in creating this unusual museum. It includes numerous preparatory sketches, detailed technical drawings of the complex metal and glass wall system, and colour photographs of the finished structure.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Kohn Pedersen Fox's jewel-like glass pavilion for the Rodin Museum evolved from the search to create a home for two seminal bronzes, The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais, by Auguste Rodin. The tension created between the two pieces suggests gesture and dance, which architect Kevin Kennon interepreted as a kind of pas de deux between two glass walls. To heighten the experience of the museum as a place of contemplation and spirituality, the space is suffused in light with glass walls and ceilings of varying degrees of translucency. The serene space, far removed from the bustle of the Seoul business district, blurs the difference between West and East, between art and commerce, and between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
