반포지구 한강연결공원 및 문화시설 국제설계공모 International Design Competition for Banpo-Hangang Connection Park and Cultural Facilities
Our entry for the
반포지구 한강연결공원 및 문화시설 국제설계공모 International Design Competition for Banpo-Hangang Connection Park and Cultural Facilities
The competition aims to improve the accessibility to the Han River park by developing a three-dimensional public space that passes above Olympic Boulevard so that you citizens reach the Bampo Bridge and River Park on foot. In the park, a complex cultural space will be created with residential statues of modern and contemporary Korean apartments, exhibition halls showing history, and community facilities.
Our proposal went beyond a traditional park by creating an elevated natural sanctuary integrated into the urban fabric of a global city such as Seoul. Crossing along the project site we proposed a colored looping path that connects urban and natural elements, from its portal at the Sinbanpo-ro it links the way through green zones and water mirrors, it guides visitors to explore the last original dwelling reimagined as a new leisure and cultural landmark. This recycled building is reconfigured through a structural envelop and platforms leading to a vast elevated landscape that crosses over the Olympic Highway and folds gently to connect to the Banpo-Hangan River Connection Park. Our proposal is designed under a principle of slow life and urban oasis concept that promotes reconnection with the environment and meaningful social interactions, a step forward for a new way of healthy urban living.
Congratulations to all the team on this effort and lets keep exploring these ideas on recycled urban assets, smart public spaces and slow liveable cities. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
