Seoul, South Korea, recently became home to the world’s first museum dedicated to robots and artificial intelligence. The museum, officially named Seoul Robot & AI Museum, celebrates scientific and technological advancements through immersive exhibitions.
Seoul Robot & AI Museum makes its purpose clear with a futuristic building designed by Turkish studio Melike Altınışık Architects.
“The museum’s spherical, non-directional form is characterized by fluid, organic shapes that resonate with the advanced technologies housed within,” the studio explains.
The building resembles a spaceship and actively contributes to the experience through smart systems that are “woven” into its design and operation. This includes the combination of panels that can serve as a screen for content display.
“It’s like the building itself is alive, interacting with visitors to enhance their experience at every turn,” Melike Altınışık Architects add.
The museum’s vision is to introduce visitors to the latest technological advancements and gadgets while helping them “build connections” with the technology that will play a crucial role in shaping their future.
Seoul Robot & AI Museum might be the first of its kind, but it surely won’t be the only one. There are plans to build several other similar museums across Seoul that can communicate and collaborate with each other.
