Here are their words about this project:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/oma.eu\/news\/oma-designed-galleria-department-store-completes-in-south-korea\">The Gwanggyo store is the sixth branch of &#8220;Galleria&#8221;,<\/a> Korea\u2019s largest upscale department store franchise founded in the 1970s. Sculpted as a stone volume with a textured mosaic stone fa\u00e7ade, the building evokes the nature of its neighbouring Suwon Gwanggyo Lake Park. A public route is excavated from the stone volume and connects the public side walk to a roof garden\u2014to include both retail and cultural activities. It introduces an innovative element to the traditional typology of a department store.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The public route has a multifaceted glass fa\u00e7ade that contrasts with the opacity of the stone. Through the glass, retail and cultural activities inside are revealed to the city\u2019s passers-by, while visitors in the interior acquire new vantage points to experience Gwanggyo. Formed with a sequence of cascading terraces, the public loop offers spaces for exhibitions and performances.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ok, now I want to live in a glass geode encrusted house.
