Since what happened on April.16th, 2014, The Sinking of SEWOL brought people two inverted ways to mark this disaster. One way is to keep living with sorrow and responsibility. The other way is releasing endless love and comfort to commemorate the passing. Our Vision as an architect is to create space for people who wish to stay to heal or wait to share. The space will make sorrow and happiness co-exist with harmony. The space will bridge the respect and share between living and passed-away.
