架构师提供的文本描述。韩国人和加拿大人对自然有着共同的崇敬。加拿大大使馆的设计渴望表达这种共同的联系。这座建筑幸运地与一棵500年前的树共享一处，这棵树是大自然的活生生的象征。大使馆的入口广场是一个聚集地，以树为中心。

Text description provided by the architects. Koreans and Canadians share a reverence for nature. The design of the Canadian embassy aspires to express that common link. The building is fortunate to share a site with a 500-year-old tree, a living symbol of nature. The embassy’s entrance plaza is a gathering place, with the tree as its focus.

这座建筑由两个块由一个基座连接在一起，形成了一个起伏的块体，构成了这棵树的框架。建筑物的聚集和皮肤是受印象派形象的加拿大景观的启发。西地块是劳伦·S·哈里斯传统中的一座雄伟而简单的山体。东街区是森林桦树树干，垂直元素，创造了一个自然的节奏与闪闪发光的天空；一个由加拿大印象主义者汤姆森启发的形象。

The building, composed of two blocks tied together by a base, forms an undulating mass framing the tree. The massing and skin of the building are inspired by impressionist images of the Canadian landscape. The west block is the mountain_a majestic and simple form in the tradition of Lawren S. Harris. The east block is the forest birch bark trunks, vertical elements, creating a natural rhythm against the sparkling sky; an image inspired by Canadian impressionist, Tom Thomson.
