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.
