Yangju Art Center perfectly fits into the overall shape and scenery of Mt. Bulgok and fully embraces special experiences of live performances and everyday life in one, making the center a new kind of cultural space. “Byeolsandae,” which means a special stage resembling a mountain, signifies the age-old cultural identity of Yangju City and is also an important motif to narrate the design story of the art center. Yangju Art Center is designed to look like a cultural park inside a forest, within which lies large and small theaters, a café, and a lawn for various events. The large canopy inspired by the nature of the natural park provides a sense of connection embracing various spaces. The pillars inspired by trees surrounding the venue create the feel of an arcade providing people with room to walk and stay around it.
