Korean building displays otherworldly beauty of Asian s\cript

Taking the idea of "the medium is the message" to the extreme, the designers of the South Korea Pavillion for the Shanghai Expo created a building literally made of words. Composed of 25,000 panels which will be sold off individually at the end of the event, the characters are Han-geul letters from the Korean alphabet.
According to the organizers, all sales proceeds will be donated to a foundation advocating minority and multiculturalism in Korea. You can see more art and animation that led up to the structure's completionhere.
