Text description provided by the architects. This author suspects that the road where tradition and modern culture join, and the place where the beginning and end of this road simultaneously intersect may be the very Insadong. On this road is diverse cultural behavior being done and a new culture is set off in the course of such cultural behavior’s scattering and gathering to other places. It really required a lot of cautiousness in creating another look at Insandong where the tradition placed in the framework of a road just like a twig and exotic looks are mixed. Probably, such cautiousness might be attributable to the fear that creating a new look of Insandong might cause an impact on the memories of the close by-gone days shared by the whole Insadong and value of privacy like a vestige, but this author would say that such cautiousness is rather a challenge to the possibility of the partial look of Insadong being read as a path attempting at the point of contact between tradition and modern times separately from the mixed image of the whole Insadong.
