The
site
is
located
at
the
urban
area
close
to
the
down-town
of
Daegu,
one
of
the
biggest
Cities
in
South
Korea.
In
contrast
to
its
locality,
this
town
is
isolated
from
the
major
city
development.
The
community
gets
older,
and
young
couples
tends
to
move
out
from
the
town
to
have
better
education
for
their
children.
The
community
even
agrees of this change as inevitable fact.
As
an
architect
who
deeply
studied
and
knew
so
much
about
the
area,
our
ideas
on
the
new
architecture
was
more
than
brining
a
landmark
or
something
special.
It
was
to
make
a
change
for
the
community
to
give
them
the
new
cultural
experience,
the
icon
and
even
a
hope
that
which
the
community
shouts
out
to
others
the
town
is
not dead.
In
addition
to
this
major
aspect
of
design
task,
we
further
explored.
The
elderly
people
in
the
church
are
outnumbered
among
church
members.
The
infrastructure
for
them
was
too
outdated.
Especially,
the
location
of
the church with shortage of parking space worsens the approaches for those seniors.
Design Description
Based
on
the
limited
budget
about
2.8
million
USD
for
3,500sm
building;
it
ought
to
be
a
difficult
task
how
we
could
achieve
high
with
minimum
financial
input.
Firstly,
by
separating
two
major
elements,
one
is
900sm
parking
area
and
the
other
2600sm
for
the
function
of
the
building.
Our
base
design
has
to
be
very
functional
to
meet
the
budget
constraint,
so
the
parking
grid
on
plan
is
first
thing
we
have
to
comply
with
in
order
to
save
cost
and
bring
most
efficient
layout.
Thus,
the
core
design
for
the
staircase
and
elevator
was
planned
to
make
as
compact
space
as possible.
Not
to
mention,
we
had
to
deeply
contemplate
about
the
Christianity
as
well.
The
symbolic
idea
of
Christianity
had
to
be
revealed
to
align
with
Christians’
lives.
We
tried
to
express
the
definition
of
the
Heaven
referred
from
one
of
Beatitudes
from
the
Bible,
Blessed
are
the
poor
in
spirit,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdom
of
Heaven.
Simply,
it
means
despite
harsh
circumstances
confronting
us,
our
life
will
experience
the
Heaven
through
the
condition
of
being poor in spirit.
Architecturally,
the
sloped
hill
to
the
site
was
a
catalyst
to
enhance
the
obtuse
or
acute
angles
of
the
exterior
shape
as
a
form
of
life
that
would
represent
anguish,
pain,
sadness.
And
we
added
a
mirror
box
in
the
middle
of
the
mass,
which
is
the
worship
sanctuary,
to
reflect
the
sky
for
church
members
to
remember
to
look
up
the
heaven despite their hardship on daily lives.
