Located where the new urban cultural axis, which begins at the Complex Culture and Arts Park (formerly a member of Jinju Station), meets Namgang river-side, the project site is a place where you can face the Chokseokru, a historical site of Jinju city. We have designed a multipurpose cultural center that will be located where the city's history, culture and nature intersect, making it a meaningful urban experience for people's daily lives.
Strengthening the urban symbol axis
In order to reinforce the symbolic meaning of the site, we suggest transplanting the trees from Namgang Side Park into the site. Through this, the road view is opened to the Chokseokru and a visual corridor is formed. In addition, the trees was placed in the site connection area and rooftop garden so that the park was continuously being existed in a building space.
Preservation of urban memory
Alleys towards the tactile floor found in the existing urban organization of the target area were expanded into public walkways to maintain urban support and at the same time be a line approaching the rooftops and each program.
Acceptance of context
The vertical zoning of the program was to harmonize with the architectural scale around it by comforting the large at the upper and placing a resident-friendly small program at the bottom.
Symbolism of architecture
It has a visual axis towards Chokseokru and various public accesses, but basically has a simple form of aligning to the city axis. The material use of the building is referring a traditional roof-tile, lighting lamp, and bamboo, which means the history, culture, and nature of the target site, and formed a tectonic image with these motifs.
