Songdo Campus Town, located within the Songdo International Complex, is home to Yonsei University and several other international universities, and has developed a robust education and research infrastructure through its integration with knowledge-based industries.

While adhering to the framework of Yonsei University’s International Campus Master Plan, this project placed significant emphasis on a concept that would express the independence and distinctiveness of SL Byzen as a research and educational facility. The research institute site was positioned within the campus’s core zone, both spatially and functionally, and was intended to serve as a landmark.

The stone facade features vertical elements finely adjusted through variations in density, forming a sculptural composition through a layered structure. This design harmonizes with the campus master plan’s detailed guidelines for continuous facade design, as well as the context of the exterior materials and color scheme used to implement them, while also embodying a sense of symbolism.
