Bits and Bobs for the New Year

Oneday01

Master of Design
candidate Jiyeon Song has created this interactive pavilion
out of little more than perforated panels. The specific arrangements of
the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar
calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection
on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. The poem is a Korean Sijo by poet Kim Ch'on-taek (1725-1766).  Read more about this imaginative project here.

The narrative structure of a Sijo requires the statement of a situation in line 1, development in line 2, and a twist and conclusion in line 3.
