The exhibition features the early works of Itami Jun, which focused on materiality and essence, proposing balance with nature through architecture, as well as his later works that explored architecture as a mediator in the relationship between nature and humanity. Leading the exhibition is humanitarian architect Ban Shigeru, known for proposing balance and practical solutions with the environment through his paper architecture. Contemporary artists such as Bahk Seon Ghi, Kang Seung Chul, Han Won Suk, Cho So Yeon, and Tacit Group also participate, exploring sustainable directions for future societies.

Through this second exhibition, the museum raises the critical issue of "balance between nature and humanity," encouraging reflection and fostering empathy toward the "coexistence and recovery" through awareness, while aiming to inspire small yet significant changes.
