The project explores the evolving relationship between the architecture of the Korean Pavilion and the surrounding trees within the Giardini della Biennale, framing this interaction through visual, auditory, and spatial means.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The installations, \u2018A Shadow Caster,\u2019 \u2018Giardini Travelers,\u2019 and \u2018Elevated Gaze 1995,\u2019 operate as observation tools, offering a framework to perceive how the pavilion coexists with its natural surroundings over time. Emphasizing the pavilion\u2019s original integration into the site without displacing any trees, the project highlights the long-term coexistence of built form and landscape. Rather than treating architecture as separate from nature, the installation acknowledges both as equal components in the spatial composition of the Giardini. Developed through collaborations with various Korean workshops, the work reflects on the logistics and implications of constructing international <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/exhibition-design\/\">exhibitions<\/a><\/strong>. It also addresses the broader conditions of biennale production, positioning the project as both site-responsive and globally connected. Unlike the closed typology of white cube exhibition spaces, the Korean Pavilion remains visually and spatially open to its surroundings. The installations within are designed to interact with environmental conditions such as light, shadow, and sound, reinforcing the role of time and place in the experience of architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Time for Trees celebrates the Korean Pavilion\u2019s 30 years | all images by Yongjoon Choi unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Time for Trees showcases three site-specific spatial installations<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A Shadow Caster\u2019 is a site-specific spatial installation that allows visitors to read and experience the shadows cast by the trees around the Korean Pavilion. The work captures the patterns, shades, and subtle movements of the surrounding Giardini environment, evolving with time, seasons, and changing climate conditions. Visitors experience the relationship that the Korean Pavilion has with the vegetal and topographic conditions<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Created by Studio Heech\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.studioheech.com\/\">team<\/a><\/strong> in collaboration with a woodworking shop and a metal workshop in Seoul, the \u2018Giardini Travelers\u2019 are structural and modular architectural devices created for site-specific events and rituals at the Venice Biennale. Moving through various national pavilions of Giardini, they explore and celebrate the rich and intriguing histories connected to the surrounding trees and natural environment. These adaptable modular trusses can function as an observation deck, ladder, bench, seating area for visitors, stage for special events, or a setting for temporary exhibitions. In particular, in this exhibition, they are used as a ladder and bench, allowing visitors to experience the stories created through relationships with the surrounding trees. \u2018Giardini Travelers\u2019 remains an \u2018artwork\u2019 that, even in the 21st century, must be created on the other side of the globe and embark on a long journey to Venice. It serves as both a ritualistic tribute and a critical inquiry into the efforts and dedication of those who create national pavilions every year, as well as the long-standing history and traditions of the Biennale.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Elevated Gaze 1995\u2019 is inspired by the quote \u2018free independence of the human gaze, tied to the human face by a cord so loose, so long, so elastic that it can stray, alone, as far as it may choose,\u2019 from Marcel Proust\u2019s \u2018In Search of Lost Time, Swann\u2019s Way.\u2019 In this passage, the human gaze moves freely and independently, experiencing its surroundings. Through this piece, visitors transcend the limits of their own gaze, rising higher to take in the landscape of the Giardini and the sounds of trees and forests. The long-standing story created by the equal symbiosis of architecture and trees in the Giardini is reinterpreted and shared with visitors through \u2018Elevated Gaze 1995.\u2019 The exhibition\u2019s title, \u2018Time for Trees,\u2019 draws from Sufi Boise\u2019s essay of the same title in Architectural Review (April 2023).<\/p>\n<p>the project explores the relationship between architecture and surrounding trees in the Giardini<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>three key installations frame the dialogue between built form and landscape<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A Shadow Caster\u2019 captures the movement and seasonal changes of tree shadows<\/p>\n<p>visitors engage with environmental patterns created by nearby trees<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>light and shadow define a shifting spatial experience around the pavilion<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the human gaze moves freely and independently, experiencing its surroundings<\/p>\n<p>each installation interacts with sound, light, and time to frame natural processes<\/p>\n<p>the project acknowledges the equal presence of nature and structure in the Giardini<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>\u2018Giardini Travelers\u2019 are modular structures built for observation and interaction<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Time for Trees<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong> Heechan Park \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.studioheech.com\/\">Studio Heech<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/studioheech\/\">@studioheech<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>venue:<\/strong>\u00a0Korean Pavilion, Giardini, Venice<\/p>\n<p><strong>dates:<\/strong>\u00a0May 10th \u2013 November 23th, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>digital interaction collaborator:<\/strong> Yoosuk Kim (RGB lab)<\/p>\n<p><strong>fabrication coordinator:<\/strong> Il Park (Design Lab)<\/p>\n<p><strong>technical advisor:<\/strong> Junhyuk Park, Junghoon Kim (Archi Terre)<\/p>\n<p><strong>fabricator:<\/strong> KD-Art, Catharsis, RGB lab<\/p>\n<p><strong>project assistant: <\/strong>Yurim\u00a0Kim (Studio Heech)<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> Yongjoon Choi, Yongbaek Lee<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/site-specific-installations-studio-heech-korean-pavilion-biennale-giardini-time-for-trees-06-11-2025\/\">site-specific installations by studio heech fuse korean pavilion with biennale\u2019s giardini trees<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>installations by Studio Heech celebrate Korean Pavilion\u2019s 30 years \u00a0 Part of the Korean Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale, Time for Trees by Heechan Park + Studio Heech presents a series of spatial installations &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
