The project aimed to develop a hybridized drawing method inves ga ng the complementary rela onship between the hap c and the digital. The re-search began with an interest in calligraphy as a part of an East Asian brush pain ng form, drawn with only black ink and water. In Korean ink and wash pain ng the line is dynamic, con nuously rousing up vitality as if a living and breathing en ty in itself.

BREATHING LINES IN CALLIGRAPHY

FLYING WHITE

SPLASHED INK

In order to translate this line into a digital environment, a par cle system was adopted. Emi ng par cles, ac ng as the diff usion of ink on paper, start to move along a path indicated by the painter’s hand; then transformed by physical forces just as the line reacts to surrounding forces.

TRANSLATION

Chusa Kim Jeong-hui (1786-1856), one of the most important Korean calligraphy masters in the 19th century, managed to develop the Chusa style while exiled on Jeju Island. The calligraphic gesture in space illustrates the energy to shape a form reac ng with the forces of the environment. The rocks and wind of Jeju Island’s harsh environment were par cularly inves gated as the original canvas of the Chusa style. In this process, the digital tool was developed to simulate the interac on between gesture and environment, collision func ons as par cles as the gestures carve rock.

ANALYSIS OF CHUSA STYLE

DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL TOOLS

The site was dedicated as a trail connec ng Chusa’s house to an exis ng trail route in Jeju island . The calligraphic gesture derived from this trail describes four points of his harsh life story, such as loneliness, the heartbreak of the death of his wife, the crea on of his Chusa style and reaching. Wind and rock in each stage were defi ned and simulated according to the story line, carving with spe-cifi c pressure and speed derived from the formal analysis. Air born rock dust produced by the rock carving is used as the component for the ar fi cial space on site. First the rock dust is displaced by wind and stacked on site, crea ng the structure. Then, like the diff usion of ink on paper in calligraphy, the dust se les into the surrounding rock, and as me passes erodes as a natural phenomenon. Finally, the landscape of calligraphy evolves, changing itself gradually in rela on to the environment, as if the line of Korean ink and wash pain ng is breathing.

LANDSCAPE OF CALLIGRAPHY

PLAN

SECTION

Par cles of low density control land level, format regular steady pa erns, and provide benches that are designed for pedestrians to take a rest, especially those who pass through the trail o en.

High density par cle (Ink) plays as the main structural point. The highest density is supporters. The next density used is the point to handle the force from the roof. And the least low density par cle, for the diff usion of sunlight, is the space under the roof so that we can experi-ence the diff usion of sunlight and wind, while at the same me giving us the opportunity to have a visual experience that it looks like ink running on calligraphy.

The levels of the stone walls are determined by how the density of the par cles is high and the way it diff uses with strong winds from north. As men oned before, the stone walls can be considered as rough textural, architect materials.
