With an emphasis on preserving the twelve-meter pedestrian path that cuts through the Pyeongtaek Administrative Town’s site, this passageway was considered a generative design element. By placing the City Hall and City Council on either side of it and introducing a sunken circular courtyard, the path was transformed into a viewpoint. This void draws natural light and fresh air into the typically neglected underground spaces, turning them into dynamic environments.
The project invites the city inward. Corridors and alley-like passages embedded in the form extend urban movement into the interior spaces and blur the boundaries between inside and outside. This spatial porosity not only enhances climatic comfort but also enables functional separation and spatial organization.
The buildings were positioned according to their urban functions: City Hall at the north, adjacent to public transport routes; the City Council at the southeast, with independent access; and the daycare center near the park.
The landscape design merges ecological and infrastructural approaches, improving the microclimate and spatial quality to establish a resilient ground—one that demonstrates the project is not merely a collection of buildings, but an effort to create a living urban ecosystem that breathes, flows, and belongs to the people.
