無論是那個設計團隊，在為歷史人物設計紀念館時想必都背負著一定的歷史責任。對於擅長於公共藝術空間設計的南韓METAA設計團隊而言，要如何以紀念館傳承南韓李氏朝鮮時期名將李舜臣（ChungMuGong YiSunShin）為人稱道的戰時功蹟、對國家的忠誠與愛，則是METAA設計時的靈感來源。
李舜臣不論對於兵法或是政治手腕皆有其獨到的一面，也因此從韓國總統朴槿惠，到現代汽車集團副總裁鄭義宣，也曾在這位名將的歷史事蹟中學習著關鍵的領導力。這也讓METAA在這位將軍的歷史研究中找尋設計的方向，更加地著重在如何設計出能表現出李舜臣個性的紀念館，而不僅僅只是為了紀念而建。
設計團隊意識到光用歷史遺留下來的物件與歷史資料的呈現是不容易引起遊客共鳴的，有些資料也並非完全真實，過程中更是無法以想像的方式來完成。因此設計團隊想利用的是以建築物本身的設計來感動人們，也避免用抽象的設計方式來誇大歷史事件的敘述，或是在時間久遠下使得紀念館漸漸被遺忘。
或許是同一件歷史事件，建築物也需有獨特的設計來表達出不同的感覺。例如在呈現歷史事件連續性的設計，不同的排列或是令人意想不到的順序設計就是一種不錯的嘗試，隨之產生的奇特感與距離感將能更吸引遊客主動融入並產生對歷史事件的新認知。

ChungMuGong YiSunShin Memorial／METAA
Object to Commemorate
The king of Joseon Dynasty ‘Jeong jo’, poet ‘Choe nam sun’ and ‘Lee eun sang’ recalled The general of Joseon Dynasty “Yi sun sin” repeatedly. They focused in one thing. A man who shows Royal,
respectful and love. Only an ostensible reason. Yi sun sin’s diary that called “Nan-jung-il-gi” just record only the facts during the war. However, the point is Perfection.
When one man start to fight with every situation, for instance enemies, politics or our forces. When a man should be right and justice in this situation, we can see this kinds of Perfection from
him. Therefore, we focused on this kinds of humanity of this general. More focused on deep in his mind, not just ostensible reason.
How to Commemorate
Materials and data of a memorial difficult to make people exprience the past. Every reappearances is sometimes very unreliable and make the object as a show. Imagination never happened there. The
evolution which means knowledge not just watch is impossible. An architect wants to the power that is from the architecture’s own, but an abstraction of architecture exaggerate narration and
narrative, or lose the power in a long terms of time.
For example an architecture has same structure of narrative with narration so it doesn’t create a new meaning. For the continuous creation of meaning, different arrangement and unexpected sequence
will be better choice. Thus strangeness and a sense of distance will be occur, and in this situation, audiences will actively participate and become have a new cognizance.
