Starfield Village Unjeong is conceived as a community-oriented retail destination, distinct from conventional large-scale malls. Its horizontally articulated low-rise architecture and transparent fa?ade enhance openness and accessibility. Clearly organized circulation paths naturally guide visitors through the space, encouraging effortless brand discovery.
Connect Hyundai Cheongju is a community-focused lifestyle retail space built around the concept of “Connect,” linking people, the city, and content. Its restrained exterior and open fa?ade invite visitors inside without imposing a strong symbolic presence.

| 【ADF Web Magazine】When geology becomes art |
| Roger Caillois’s remarkable mineral collection, where science meets aesthetics, is now on display in Paris at the École des Arts Joailliers. The exhibition presents more than 200 extraordinary stones gathered during Caillois’s travels across the Americas and Asia between 1952 and 1978. Fascinated by minerals as “objects at the crossroads” of geology, art, and philosophy, Caillois saw nature itself as an artist shaping intricate forms through time and pressure. Agates, septaria, and crystalline structures reveal landscapes, patterns, and imagined worlds within stone. Blending scientific curiosity with poetic imagination, the exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the mysterious beauty of the mineral world. |

| 【ADF Web Magazine】CREST NINE: A Community Center Looking Over the Sea by Sanjay Puri Architects |
| Perched on a steep hill overlooking the Arabian Sea in Anjarle, Maharashtra, Crest Nine by Sanjay Puri Architects is a community centre conceived as a recreational focal point for a gated villa enclave. Designed to respond closely to the site’s dramatic topography, the building is embedded within the hillside rather than placed on top of it, allowing the architecture to appear as if it gradually emerges from the terrain. |
