English	This planter in front of the library embodies the "eye" in hopes of seeing the world and expanding knowledge through books. Our wishes are expressed not only in form but also in material. We wanted to express creativity, and as a result, we combined 3D printing technology with concrete to create a new planter. In terms of design, the hardness of the concrete and the softness of the curve contrast, but we put it in one piece. Those who look at it will have a complex feeling. It comes to the same experience that we feel when we look at a work of art.
Native	도서관 앞에 있는 'H Eye Planter'는 책을 통해 세상을 바라보는 견문을 넓히길 바라는 소망을 '눈'을 형상화함으로써 표현했습니다. 뿐만 아니라, 3D 프린팅 기술과 콘크리트의 콜라보레이션은 새로운 플랜터를 창조해냈습니다. 딱딱한 콘크리트를 부드러운 곡선으로 표현해 상반되는 이미지를 하나에 담아냈고 이는 창의적이며 예술적인 하나의 작품과도 같습니다. 'H Eye Planter'는 크지 않지만 복잡하고 정교한 과정을 거칩니다. 시설물로써 충분히 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 재료의 혼합비를 검토하고, 모델링을 통한 모듈화로 시공성을 개선해야 했습니다. 많은 시뮬레이션과 Mock-Up을 통해 우린 완벽한 플랜터를 탄생시켰습니다.
