Media Architecture Institute

Some very early form of a mobile (!) mediafacade!

The Khumo Headquarters is located in the Jongno District of Seoul, which historically has been the central area of Seoul for hundreds of years. With major buildings in close proximity (City Hall, Deoksugung palace, the Korean President’s residence, Plaza Hotel, US Embassy), this building overlooks one of the most active areas in the entire country. There is a clear contrast between traditional and modern Korean identity, and while this is a corporate headquarter, this building has strived to balance between both worlds.

Manfred from Werkzeug H, Vienna bought a led driver (a Borg 16) at the 24C3 last year. He decided to try something new – a portable deflatable 16×16 led matrix. The main construction goal was to make it real easy to assemble, lightweight and weatherproof. I think it took the team some time for the design process and a lot more time to build – but this is what finally came out!
