The Kyonggi Cultural Foundation launched a single stage open international ideas competition for the design of a museum dedicated to the media artist Nam June Paik.
In conformity with the UNESCO-UIA regulations, the competition was approved by the International Union of Architects (UIA).
The aim of the competition was to select an architectural design which would harmonise with the creative work of the Korean artist, a pioneer in artistic research linked with the media. The museum would house the artist’s work and serve as a framework for his future creations. At the same time, this museum would promote the Province of Kyonggi as an international centre for arts and culture.
The main elements of the programme were as follows:
The competition was open to licensed architects and multi-disciplinary teams led by an architect.
