Story
An Origami-Inspired Landmark in Daegu The Sayuwon Park Performance Pavilion the harmonious integration of architecture and nature. Located in Daegu, this pavilion was conceived as part of a private park initiative by Yoo Jaesung in 2013, later opened to the public in 2020. The park itself is a sprawling 330,000 m² landscape, inviting visitors to explore its architectural and natural wonders over a three-hour journey. The pavilion, designed by liveraniandrea, is a multipurpose structure that accommodates performances, concerts, and outdoor events. Its design draws inspiration from the Japanese art of origami, translating the delicate folds of paper into the robust yet ethereal form of Corten steel. This material choice complements the natural surroundings with its earthy tones. The pavilion's form is both functional and symbolic, resembling a megaphone that amplifies sound and focuses attention on the stage. Its tapered shape and minimalistic support—resting on just four points—allow for unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The interior features acoustically optimized black painted steel panels, enhancing the auditory experience for performances.
