In Seoul, Korea a so called 'canvas' wall could be seen from a distance. Unsandong Architects have experimented with a piece of artwork 'canvas' that can be thought as 2 dimensional medium and developed a spatial skin for a gallery. Confused yet? These works are nothing new and similar works can be seen by Architects searching for the new generation of space out of structure between the folded and smooth, continuous skin. These 'skinscape' can be initiated by acknowledging the urban fabric as the envelope structure - looking at the city as an enormous folded surface, continuous and sequential. Now, ‘Skinscape’ is an experimental text attempting to combined the Architectural skin and the loose meaning of the term ’scape’.

The Architects for Gallert Yeh have used this concept as a medium to provide and exhibit information onto the huge canvas attracting outside events. The twists and intertwine of the facade creates a spatial complexity like a crack on a skin.
