“Writing
is
a
medium
of
human
communication
that
represents
language
and
emotion
with
signs
and
symbols.
In
most
languages,
writing
is
a
complement
to
speech
or
spoken
language.
Writing
is
not
a
language,
but
a
tool
developed
by
human
society.”
It
is
a
great
task
to
trace
back
cultural
heritages
through
studying
and
developing
forms
and
styles
from
various
ethnic
backgrounds
of
each
different
writings
and
writing
systems.
In
this
sense
and
immediate
understanding
on
the
matter,
we
are
overwhelmed
by
the
fact
the
expression
on
the
museum
of
world
writing
can
be
too
vast
and
tremendous.
Hence,
creating
the
architectural
form
for
the
Museum
of
World
Writing
will
be
very
much
rewarding
historical
event,
if
we,
as
architects,
can
express
into
a
form
of
conglomeration
that
brings
the sense and beauty of the world writings.
The
rectangular
main
masses
clothed
with
reflective
corrugated
metal
panels
are
mingled
into
the
landscape.
The
existence
of
the
form
is
disappeared
into
the
nature
yet
it
stands
still.
At
the
end,
the
architecture
of
the
world
writing
is
concluded
as
conglomeration
that
is
formed
to
express
in
landscape
explicitly and hidden behind the wall implicitly.
The
location
of
the
museum
is
centered
at
‘The
Central
Park’
of
the
city
and
it
provides
a
place
for
people
around
to
relax
and
enjoy
open
and
green
nature
of
the
town.
Also,
it
provides
sceneries
around
the
city
to
view
from
their
high-rise
residential
and
office
towers.
Contextually
given
facts
on
the
site
require
us
to
use
the
landscape
as
to
be
major
part
of
the
design
process.
Thus,
the
conceptually
the
museum
we
wanted
to
be
vague
as
if
the
ideas
of
writings
and
various
systems
are
hidden
behind
the
wall.
Having
understood
vast
and
various
types
of
writing
systems,
we,
in
reverse,
intended
to
minimize
visual
implication
on
a
form
or
mass
to
the
design
elements.
We
simply
start
to
draw
our
imagination
on
the
given
site
as
if
we
are
writing
on
the
notebook
with
letters
in
various
written characters from countries in the world.
Parts
of
written
characters
on
landscape
are
vertically
erected
to
be
viewed
from
the
horizontal
landscape.
Vertically
standing
letters
are
engraved
to
the
wall.
Two
main
rectangular
buildings
are
inter-connected
by
the
wall
which
becomes
bridges
of
two
buildings
and
they
becomes
transitional
space
from
A
exhibition
to
B,
library
to
cafeteria,
office
to
canteen,
etc.
giving
various
and
continuous
exhibition space.
