건축계의 노벨상인 프리츠커상을 수상한 세계적인 건축가 안도 타다오의 건축물. 노출 콘크리트를 즐겨 사용하는 그의 작업 방식과 제주의 자연이 훌륭한 조화를 이룬 곳이다. 낙차가 존재하는 제주의 지형적 성격을 그대로 살려, 기하학적 공간을 구성해낸 것이 돋보인다. 전통 미술과 수공예품을 전시하는 1관은 아늑하고 인간적이다. 다양한 문화 행사가 진행되는 2관은 높이감이 느껴지도록 설계했다.
A building by world-famous architect Tadao Ando, who won the Pritzker Prize, the Nobel Prize in architecture. This is a place where his work style, which favors using exposed concrete, and Jeju’s nature are in perfect harmony. What stands out is that the geometric space was created by taking advantage of the topographical characteristics of Jeju, which has drop-offs. Hall 1, which displays traditional art and handicrafts, is cozy and humane. Hall 2, where various cultural events are held, was designed to create a sense of height.
