Amsterdam’s beautifully considered architecture publication, Mark Magazine, recently featured Moon Hoon’s eccentric Wind House, designed in 2014 for an art collector and ophthalmologist on Korea’s Jeju Island. I spoke to Moon Hoon after seeing his presentation at the Asia Pacific Architecture Forum in Brisbane in February 2016. He discussed his love of drawing, filmmaking, science fiction and robots that all fed into the design that also nods to traditional Korean typologies. Most importantly, Moon Hoon is devoted to playfulness, and it is this enjoyment and imaginative abandonment that threads through and informs his work.
