GREEN PAVILION

What is the meaning of the green? It can be explained by many social and scientific terminologies; energy efficiency, tree, nature, sustainability, and so on. However, the reason why "The Green" can touch the deepest soul of human being is that it can become the tranquil and comfortable shelter where people are able to recover the inherent human nature.

With the new concept of "The Green", Green Pavilion will provide the small spiritual haven to the people who get tired out by busy life. Green Pavilion to become the spiritual haven has three different spaces; slow space, pure space and meditation space. First of all, slow space is the sloped deck with the stair-lawn where busy urban people can take a short rest and look at the blue sky through the triangular windows. Slowing the pace of life just a little bit, people can enjoy the serene moment in the hectic urban life. Climbing up the slow space, people can reach the pure space of the roof top where is open to the sky. Watching a tiny flower on the lawn and separated from the urban street, people can also find pure ego without any conflicting interests. Finally, meditation space is the inside of the pavilion where is closed to the surroundings. People inside it have the opportunity to look back upon past memories, and the self.

Green Pavilion will be an oasis in the city. As entering into the perfect state of spiritual concentration through the Green Pavilion, people can enjoy the true green life.
