Site Analysis
The
development
of
Suncheon
City
should
never
neglect
the
past.
The
identity
of
Suncheon
should
consist
of
the
elements
provided
by
the
history
of
the
town
and
the
innovative
thinking
of
the
present.
The
future
Art
Platform
is
close
to
the
important
remains
of
the
‘Old
city’
of
Suncheon.
This
historical
fact
provides
the
inspiration
of
using
the
Old
Cadastral
Map
to
reintroduce
the
Old
City
in
the
Art
Platform.
The
design
incorporates
the
‘Suncheon
Wall’
in
the
shape
of
Old
City
surrounding
the
Art
Platform,
evoking
the
memory
and
appearance
of
the
‘Old
City’.
Moreover,
the
trails
of
the
Old
City
become
the
pathways
in
the
Art
Platform.
The use of historical background of Suncheon becomes the vital constituents to the design.

In
addition,
the
Art
Platform
is
intentionally
built
below
the
ground
so
as
to
connect
it
to
the
underground
arcade.
This
strategy
is
to
revitalize
the
underground
arcade,
and
this
creates
a
new
typology
of
geographical
feature
to
the
city
which
enriches
the
language
of
the
urban
landscape.
The
sunken
landscape
will
become
a
brand-new
experience
to
the
residents.
Thus
it
could
act
as
a
public
space
for
cultural
and
leisure
activities.
Another
feature
that
contributes
to
the
beautiful
Suncheon
is
its
precious
ecological
value.
Suncheon
has
a
high
proportion
of
agricultural
activities
compared
with
other
cities
in
Korea.
The
landscape
of
the
Art
Platform
is
designed
to
mimic
the
arrangement
of
farmland.
Human
will
experience
placing
themselves
in
a
spectacular
natural
environment.
The
way
of
pathways
is
naturally
produced
by
the
shape
of
the
grasslands.
The
landscape
design
gives
multi-directional
pathways
for
people
to
pass
freely within the site and provide them with public green space to enjoy.
The
Suncheon
Art
Platform
is
envisioned
to
bring
vitality
to
the
surrounding
areas
of
the
site.
Through
respecting
the
historical
and
environmental
context,
the
identity
of
Suncheon
City
is
comprehensively
presented
to
the
visitors.
The
intention
to
create
the
vast
open
green
space
is
to
accommodate
and
attracts
people
for
social
and
cultural
interactions.
Furthermore,
the
enrichment
of
the
cultural
programs
happening
both
indoor
and
outdoor
of
the
Art
Platform
allows
creative
thinking
and
learning.
The
multi-functional
Art
Platform
will
definitely
become
an
iconic
and
vital
landmark
of
Suncheon.
As
well
as,
it
boosts
a
balanced and healthy urban sustainable development in Suncheon.

Suncheon
is
a
unique
treasure
in
the
southern
part
of
Korea.
The
city
of
Suncheon
has
rich
historical
background
and
irreplaceably
remarkable
ecological
value
contribute
to
the
identity
of
this
city.
Due
to
the
excellent
prerequisites
of
Suncheon,
the
tourism
industry
is
under
rapid
development
and
the
demand
for
facilities
to
support
the
emerging
tourism
is
necessary.
The
Art
Platform
will
not
only
allow
the
residents
and
tourists
to
have
more
acquaintance
to
Suncheon,
but
also
give
profound
influence
and
improvement
to
the
quality
of
living
in
it.
The
Suncheon
Art
Platform
will
undoubtedly
become
a
core
for
cultural
activity
as
well
as
architecture that conveys history.
