It is an amalgamation of Korean written language and signage. The exterior of the building is clad in pixels of the Korean alphabet, Han-geul, creating an overall sign, or a text message. The pixels are white panels with many relief letters, all in four different sizes. Most of the interior surfaces are composed of about 40,000 colorful art pixels. These 2 images don't nearly do the building justice. Check out more images of this spectacular structure at Design Envy and see a full-blown animation at Mass Studies.
