UN Memorial Space

The memorial building in to be placed in Chunjai, South Korea. I dont get why all the asian and european places are getting the cool architecture and america is not doing anything. ugh. sorry.. side note. It is designed by ACME. The space with house 1,500 person assebly hall, 2 conference halls, a theater, and exhibit space. The basis of the concept came from the UN intself. The UN is comprised of many nations, so ACME represented that by making a cube made up of many smaller cells. The cubes show the collective nature of the UN and also have various amenities and functions. The staircase, which I think is the most oustanding part of this building, runs externallly from a green roof. There are also open communal areas found in the struture. I think it was a great choice to 1) use outdoor staircases and communal spaces to bring all of the parts of the cube together with the world around it, bystanders can watch them and they can watch people on the street 2)use different colors in the staircase and communal areas to show their importance. I am also really glad to see a strong concept behind a project.
