1+3+9

How can architecture adapt to built or natural interfering forces on the site?

The riverfront site on the north east side of Han river is interfered by a bridge above while it is on the floodplain. The project will be adapting to the natural changes on the river. Also, by stitching the interfered spaces on the riverfront will activate the north east district of Han river.

Built over the site Cheong Dam bridge is connecting between Han river south and north. When Han river floods, this area becomes an island. From Seoul GIS data maps by "gu" districts, showing population, areas of parks, number of cultural facilities, public sports facilities, residential, commercial, industrial, green area, etc, two parts of Seoul are distinguished by the Han river line. The south east area of Han river is the most dense district with various public facilities in Seoul. The area right across the river which is the north east of Han river is the least dense district. On the north east side, the riverfront has a potential to grow and activate. It will also attract people from more dense area across on the south to the less dense area. This project will engage both north and south areas of Han river.
