This competiton is for planning public space in the Korea’s NO.1 complex district.
DescriptionTeherran district is located at Seoul in South Korea. So, that place has 3 characters. The first one is Korea’s the movement of Green Growth, the second is Seoul’s CT (cultural information) movement, the last one is Korea’s NO.1 IT complex district. But people in teherran district always are busy and it was composed by many tall buildings. In other words, there is not open green space for community. So our proposal is to plan open green space for community with 3 characters.The distance among people is an essential tool when they make relationship and community. Since the Chairs on the grid 120×120cm, not too close and far, imply the ambiguousness for creating relationship, the users of them are sometimes combined or repulsed as nucleuses do and will create communities required at every moment. This community gathering space can control just the ambiguousness as a motive of activity and use chairs, simple but strongly symbolic and attractive. People can imagine the past-activities from the trace of chairs. Teherran district in Seoul was divided into two discordant layers, settlers and visitors, after rapid industrializing. Open space in the building forest and small chairs can be a solution of town. As goes by time, Teherran district will recover a breath in gray forest more and more.
Strategy _ 320 Chairs- Underground Level : Regional _ IT CellIT cell combines the needs for information sharing and information digitalization. In the IT cell, the public can access to the information network through the computer terminal located at the underground glass cell.
- Ground level : National _ Pet ChairsKnot points by grids are all 320 points. 320 chairs set on these points. These chairs are scattered by some needs. Scattered chairs give us any utility. Re-arranging and scattering cycles and repeats by mutual needs.
- Ground level : Urban _ Membrane Pergola for local communityProcessing Methodology _ 3 Characters“ I search for meeting place, then I meet someone and I talk with somebody about communicational topic. ”The chair is so general implement but it can be strong communicational tool. Throughout these chairs, we can have improved relationship.This site can be symbolical and strong communication place.Everything happens on these chairs and in this site. In this site, throughout the chairs, we can be solved every anxiety and solicitude.We will experience a new culture.

The main structure of the P.C. is made of recycled Pet bottles. We are very much concerned about using recycled materials for helping to save the earth by reducing pollution. The P.C. is a piece of plastic tank. By pilling them up, you can build anything from furniture to a building. It is very light and easy to carry around. Water or other types of liquid can be stored inside. The P.C. is a trial case of using PET, the Hydro/Biodegradable polyester that can eventually go back to the ground. If it is successful, a new sustainable recycling system will be realized that takes the route from a container, to construction material, and to soil.
