Sangam Culture Storage
/2nd prize winner of Mapo Oil Reserve Base Competition
Mapo Oil Reserve, located next to Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul, South Korea had been a limited zone in the city for decades while secretly preparing an emergency situation of energy use. This enclosed space controlled by government is now seeking the possibility of a rebirth as a public realm for Seoul citizen’s use. To achieve this, the goal of this project is reactivating the site and its location by redefining the pre-existed historical meaning of the site and embedded needs around it. We propose an ‘Art boulevard in the Forest’ harmonized with existing dynamic topography, forest and hidden oil tanks. From now on, these 5 tanks, contained the physical energy for our society will be transformed into the place where storing our cultural energy and vision to prepare the future by sorting, supporting and growing the cultural seeds with potentials.
For this purpose, the priority of all the exhibition and performance space will be given to the rookie to provide them more opportunities and supporting infrastructure for their new dreams and visions can grow continuously in stable environment. Artist residence will also give them chances to have their own working space for a specific time period to support their growth.
The complex will be consisted of Light play, Aquarium Restaurant, Spiral gallery, Young theatre and Panorama exhibition hall, and these will be connected with Art Boulevard to provide exciting smooth path with various cultural art performance at every corner. We visit the venue to enjoy our recreation, and the young artists make their visions and dreams come true in Sangam culture storage.
