This is the winning project of "Solar Energy in Architecture: International Design Competition" in Korea. It is the design for Solar Science Center in Gwangju. A plant is equipped with a mechanism to use solar energy effectively. Therefore, the mechanisms which plants have, for example, the chlorophyll, the pore, the array of the leaves, the structure and so forth will become models of "the architecture to come" if it aims at a more effective use of solar energy.
