I All Cave, a landmark designed for Paris bid’s to host Olympic game 2012,by Hojung An, Yunghee Kim and Sangun Yeo,not only stands as an physical emblematic statement by mean of its tall permanent existence, but rather orients to cultural sphere actively co-evolving with user’s desires. It is a curious thing in a state of changing by its open nature that self-contains unlimited potentials and constrains. It is a strange machine that explores manifold face of reality without a moral distinction. It links and survives trembling in-between uncensored hidden realities (an exclusive culture) and collective ideology.
Creation in architecture embodies both destruction and preservation. A routine architectural solutions of significant landmark; consider to be extremely preserved, gain its value based on routine valuation system. The objection here points toward to the safe act of just going “categorical process of mechanism that evaluates perceptive cultivation process”. Architect establishes the average perceptive effect as if it is true for everyone. The deductive, heteronymous, and homogenous logic and codes that has served architects well, thus creating a land-mark that does not trace the time of the past event, but it is just revolving around an empty static effect bearing symbolic ideology in public place. Deviated horizon for landmark architecture is imminent.
I-all cave simultaneously embodies an effect (architecture=sign Big?, language that carry out standard average expectation) and conditions that generate unpredictable effects. (Statement of understanding, definition, and potential of its use have been left for its user) This forcibly adds anomaly to authoritative aspects of landmark architecture thus creating “operational landmarks” rather. Operational landmark creates byproduct which, functionally disrupts and further juxtapose individualistic Elysium. This will aggressively reveal actualization of its stasis.
I-all cave consists of two individual operating system environments. In first environment, I-all cave serves all landmark during Olympic promotions and game itself as needed inherent rational functionality. In second environment; after the Olympic mass, it balances symbolic Olympic landmark while maintaining galore or negative balancing. It embodies unpredictable properties towards to operational structure…weather it represents collective or individual thoughts and consciousness. In addition; in local, by its open nature, it provides unlimited programmatic potentials for local people. It is a museum, a dance club, a church, a temple, a theatre, a concert hall, etc. It is public place where people encounter, stroll, rest and be mused by enjoying other people’s exclusive thoughts and feelings. I-All Cave does not imply or imitate any statement, any direction, or anything. It is virtual, physical extension of the people that co-evolves with participant’s desire. It is strange loop that has founded and will surve within personal, public, economic, social, political sphere.
