Hyundai Pavilion is among the many surprises awaiting those who come to watch the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea today. Designed by British architect Asif Khan, it is the blackest building in the world. And its secret lies in the fact that a material called vantablack VBx2 has been used in its manufacture, which has the property of absorbing 99.96% of the light they receive, giving rise to the darkest black color known. He's a black man so intense, it's impossible to tell his contours apart. You can only see what's around him.
In addition, white nanotubes have been placed on the façade of the building, producing the same effect as tiny stars that shine in the immensity of the sky. According to its creator, the aim is to give visitors the sensation of contemplating a large black hole that is capable of attracting everything that floats around it.
The pavilion is 35 metres wide and ten metres high. And in contrast to its exterior, the interior of it is a shining white. It should also be explained that there will not be any sporting event, but rather it is a relaxing space created so that visitors can live a sensory experience, thanks to an installation that emits water droplets that collide with each other.
