Hertzian Pavillion, a concept design for the Korean Pavilion at Dubai Expo, explores the phenomenological representation of the concept of mobility in the era of digital communication and wireless transmission. It seeks to capture the transformation of the human body's interaction with physical and digital space in the context of wider geopolitical changes. The project focuses on the notion of the digital body, which has become increasingly important in the contemporary world and is characterized by its capacity to move across physical and digital space at an accelerated rate.

The concept of mobility is explored through a variety of visual and tactile elements, which seek to evoke a sense of movement and transformation. Through this, the project seeks to explore the complex relationship between the human body and the virtual world while also providing a space for contemplation and reflection. In addition, the project seeks to emphasize the importance of collaboration and connectivity, as well as highlighting the potential of digital communication in creating new opportunities for mobility. By combining vernacular architecture in Korea with provocative elements, the project seeks to create an immersive experience in which the viewer can experience the concept of mobility first-hand. In doing so, this project seeks to provide a unique perspective on the notion of mobility in the digital age.
