geisha transplant









Alvaro Siza, Carlos Castanheira and Kim Jong Kyu's museum for the client, Amore Pacific in Korea. The client's grandmother initiated the collection  when the cosmetics company first began. Today, the collection is immense with national value and interest. The dark brick building are all the staff training facilities and the improvised museum, displaying only a small part of the collection. The rest of the ever-expanding collection is in storage, in the basement. There is also another small building, which is isolated, as if pushed into a corner, to the northeast, serves as accommodation for anyone who comes here from a distance to do training or research. The exterior area is characterised by a huge collection of trees and shrubs that the client buys or transplants here from elsewhere.
