Korean Pavilion meets MA

The pavilion will not only be an attraction in itself, but it is also the venue in which Modern Atlanta’s exhibition on exceptional modern Korean architecture will be held.


Manifesto Architecture designed Korean Pavilion making its debut in Atlanta

The exhibition features many projects that were selected through the “Architecture by/for/of Korea” competition, which was an open call for young and talented designers to submit work that were related to Korea in various ways. The projects were all carefully hand-picked by a prestigious international jury of practicing architects and scholars.


“The MA Prize” International Design Competition

The pavilion is made of materials from the Lucent and Marmo line of HI-MACS® Acrylic Solid Surface which works with a high capacity material for its inherent the combination of light and the unique thermoformable properties, sponsored by LG Hausys.
