Abstract The project of the "Ungno Lee Museum", devoted to one of the grand masters of Korean painting of the 20th century, was recently inaugurated in Dae-Jeon City. During the competition, this project was requested a double architectural work, evoking the spirit of the artist's creation of the building, and the constitution of a unique place location in relation to its environment. It requires a review of Western modern architecture in comparison with Korean traditional architecture and Far-Eastern art, which allows us to distinguish the characteristics of Korean modern architecture from those of Western modern architecture. A comprehension of the aesthetic of void is proposed as the conceptual resolution which intentioned the harmony with the nature. It constitutes the essential elements of Korean culture and, at the same time, characterizes the work of Ungno Lee.
