Seongsu Flexible Center

Urban Surfrastructure Surfastructure, a compound word of Surface and Infrastructure, is an essential element in urban life, but is an urban infrastructure that is recognized a s a disgusting or unfavorable facility. By developing through a three-dimensional plan, I provide a dense supply of insufficient dwellings and at the same time seek a direction in which these infrastructure can coexist within our city.

In particular, I studied surfastructure in the private sector, not urban planning facilities designated by the public. I examined the possibility of whether private sector parcels, such as POPS (Privately Owned Public Space), reflect the public role and can serve as catalysts for urban regeneration and change.

Seongsu-dong, Seoul

The Seongsu-dong area, which is set as a semi-industrial area, is concentrated with facilities necessary for urban life such as distribution centers, car repair shops, taxi transportation, and recycling centers. These are not public urban planning facilities, but they are essential elements for urban life in the past, present and future. However, since these are private sectors, they are not protected as urban planning facilities, and many facilities are already disappearing due to new developments. In addition, Seongsu-dong semi-industrial area is literally a work place for workers, and life and community are not felt, and it is empty outside of business hours on weekdays. In recent years, the keywords of culture and youth have entered Seongsu-dong's spatial and temporal gaps and have become a Seongsu-dong-like atmosphere. In this trend, in order to promote the vitality of the city without free time, it was thought that a space where industry, youth, and culture were harmonized was necessary, and in the most Seongsu-dong-like space, industry, youth housing and culture coexisted.

The number of knowledge industry centers in Seongsu-dong is gradually increasing due to the interlocking of urban planning and capital markets. However, although the uniform layout of the factory was efficient, it did not reflect the spatial and architectural characteristics of the existing Seongsu-dong industry, and the real estate profit became a more important model than the factory's natural function. The Knowledge Industry Center has been confining the industrial ecosystem of Seongsu-dong with its splendid appearance. Therefore, I believe that a new architectural style is needed to respond to this. For that purpose, I extracted elements by tying architectural and spatial features of the existing Seongsu-dong industry, and made them spatially and temporally three-dimensional. Academic Project

Section Perspective (Working Hours)

Industries in Seongsu-dong have fixed spaces such as offices and machinery, and variable spaces for loading, parking, and circulation. Spaces required for each industry were fixed, and variable spaces were intended to be used as programs for housing and culture outside of working hours.

On the lower level of the building where the building and the city meet, a loading dock with the greatest potential was placed. This space is used as a cultural base of the city for performances, exhibitions, and flea markets outside business hours. 11

Section

In the upper part, the industrial space used variably and the space with residence suspended from the structural floor were arranged in three different scales according to the characteristics of the industry. From the small-scale metal, leather , and printing industry to the large-scale automobile, printing , and metal industry, they are properly located. Academic Project

The existing Seongsu-dong did not expose all of the mechanical and industrial parts as they are. I tried to maintain the industry by closely connecting these parts with the daily life of residents and visitors. Machines and equipment are exposed as they are.

Movable Unit Diagram

Residence Diagram

To transport logistics vertically, mechanical elements of automated parking system lots and hoist cranes, which are common in Seongsu-dong, were used. They carry several units within the building. Units serve a variety of functions. First, it serves as vehicle parking and transportation. Vehicles are parked underground or transported to a car repair shop on the upper floors. Second, it is used as a logistics transport or warehouse for the industry. Third, it contains furnitures for residential and cultural spaces and community facilities. The character of the space changes depending on which units are placed in the flexible space. Furniture units can be plugged into the dwelling to expand the house. The residence is suspended from the structural floor, providing a large space underneath it. Most residential units are single rooms. Every room needed a window to the outside for the lighting and a window to the inside for the plug-in of the furniture unit. Thus, all rooms were in the form of a double floor with a passageway on the middle floor. The space expanded through the plug-in unit in the room is used for sports, hobbies, parties, and guest rooms.

Offices, machinery, and other essential industries are fixed, and other spaces are used flexibly. In the space, during business hours, it is used for transportation, loading, or furniture for work. Outside of business hours such as evenings and weekends, it could be a cinema, a gym, or a flea market, depending on which units are placed. In a large space, it can serve as a basketball court as well as tennis and badminton courts. These spaces are open to residents as well as outside visitors and can be used as cultural hubs in the city.

Meandering Biblioscape

What will be a new library that accumulates and spreads knowledge and information as the times change? It is predicted that books will be replaced by several media such as videos, DVDs, computers, and the internet. Traditional functions of a library previously dedicated to reading will be mixed with cafes, rest areas, and educational spaces. Despite and because of these changes, I think the symbolism of books in the library will be even more important. I proposed a social library that combines the public nature of knowledge information with culture and art, while preserving symbolic meaning of books.

In most libraries, books are placed on bookshelves in empty spaces. In order to emphasize the aura that the book emits, I thought that the bookshelf should become a building, not just a furniture. I proposed a library where the bookshelf becomes the structure that forms the building creating various spaces that are lodged inbetween. A walkway runs on the top of this meandering bookshelf, and this walkway extends all the way from the storage to the observatory.

Aerial View

It started with two questions. What will be the library in between the city and nature? How will the library change in the future? The site lies in the middle of the city and nature. I propose a landscape that corresponds to nature's topography and the city context. Sloped green roof surface welcomes in surrounding terrain and urban glass facades correspond to urban contexts.

The various sunken courtyards are responsible for lighting and ventilation, and these courtyards also act as the entrance to the building. The angle of the slope which was carefully set considering the sun’s path and it’s view to the surrounding area, also provides promenades, outdoor theater, exhibitions, and rest areas.

Structure Diagram

Program Diagram

The structural column grid is basically spaced 10m apart. The underground parking system was designed in accordance with this grid. Because the meandering bookshelf is responsible for the structure of the entire building, columns that overlap are deleted. The shape of the bookshelf is designed to include as much columns as possible in it’s path. Columns are placed on the part where the bookshelf does not touch. The upper part of the bookshelf is used as a walkway on the sloped plane. Slab Diagram

Building is divided into two parts by the meandering bookshelf that curves through them. Left and the right side of the bookshelf has a height difference of 1500, and the left side is dedicated to office space for the administrators, and the right side is dedicated to the public. Each part has its own dedicated core. At the highest point, there is a sympolic glass core that takes people to the observatory.

The meandering bookshelf divides the interior space into two. The two parts have a 1.5m difference in level, creating a landscape inside the building with a skip floor. The two levels are divided into “admin space” and “user space”, and at the same time are organically linked as well. Spaces with various characteristics are spread along the meandering bookshelf, and you can go out to the outer slope through the courtyard that the bookself creates. I hope that the library I propose will be a landscape that the books and people create.

Mass Diagram

First, place a mass that can accommodate the given program’s spacial requirements.Secondly, lower the South and raise the North to create a slope that connects the city and nature. It is tilted to the south, which is advantageous for letting in natural light and responds to surrounding situations. Third, place a meandering bookshelf, which makes up the structure of the entire building and a walkway along the sloped plane. This walkway connects the observatory on the highest point and the storage area on the lowest point. Fourth, Place various courtyards that links the interior spaces with the sloped plane. These courtyards also make the building compliant to the building coverage ratio limit. Finally, each courtyard has a staircase and a ramp leading to and from the interior spaces. Part of the plane that is below the ground level is designed as a stair. It is also used as an outdoor theater.

The total length of the bookshelf is 800 meters if unfolded. It is designed to make the visitors feel as if they were walking along a park promenade. which in average should take about 12 minutes from start to finish. It is more difficult for conventional bookshelves to respond to increasing amount of books in various fields of humanities, society, and nature over time. The continuous bookshelf I proposed is flexible and easily adapts to the volume changes. The continuous bookshelf has several punctures that allows for visual exchanges and circulation. Cascade-style stairs, classrooms, and stairwells are also located next to these bookshelves.

It also has a book tagging and organizing room and a preserved document archive. The office is connected to the second basement floor. The upper part of the storage area is also the starting point of the promenade. The storage area is underground to avoid sunlight. The storage space provides larger areas then what the guideline suggests, with the possibility of expansion.

In modern times, as the concept of information and knowledge changes, the boundaries of bookstores, libraries, and cafes disappear, and libraries are transformed into free and comfortable places where culture and relaxation are fused. I suggest that libraries become places like landscape rather than closed buildings. The library I propose is not just a place to read books, but a place to enjoy various cultures and enjoy nature and cities together. I hope that this building will be a cultural landscape in the future where you can experience a variety of information and knowledge.

Cascade Courtyard

Terraces in the public area and administrator area flow down creating a valley. Each slabs that resembles strate are connected via alleys and cascades.

Various elements of the library are intertwined to create a landscape. Sloped green planes form a plateau, and a meandering bookshelf creates an alley. You can explore various spaces between the booksheves. The visitors can traverse between the interior and the outdoor landscape through various courtyards. These courtyards also deliver wind and light into the depth of the valley.

Spiral Courtyard

A spiraling ramp connects the valley to the plateau like a hiking trail. A library is created where reading rooms, bookshelves, and offices are connected to each other like a landscape. We propose a library where within a system, variety of spontaneous actions can take place.

NORTH COURTYARD

North Courtyard also provides natural light all the way to the third basement level. This space gives visitors a sense of adventure while they advance between bookshelves.

The sloped green plane meets the earth at two points. You can climb up to the sloped plane from the kindergarten side on the west side and the buffer green side on the east side. The walkway on the sloped plane, which corresponds to the boo kshelf, opens up to different views on every turn. Walking along the promenade, people arrive at various courtyards. The promenade runs from the storage space to the observatory. The lowest point of the sloped plane can be used as an outdoor stage and is connected to the storage. There are stairs on the lower part of the slope, so it can be used as a theater or a place to rest. Higher up, the slope becomes a grass field where people can sit or lie down, resting and enjoying the view. Top of the slope, there is a glass observatory.

In 2018 protesters took to the streets of Rome to rally against resident evictions. After years of housing shortages, rising rental prices, and unemployment, thousands of families and individuals were no longer able to meet their mortgage and rent payments, and many were being forced from their homes. This is just one event that exhibits how Rome, like several capital European cities, has simply become unaffordable.

Participants were tasked with designing a concept for affordable co-living. Instead of considering ways to construct thousands of new, individual apartments in Rome, this competition focused on housing solutions that might offer both affordability and community. (Excerpt from the competition guidelines.)

Rome is a must see destination in Italy if someone wants to experience the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. Tourism is the most dominant industry in Rome. Popular tourist attractions are concentrated in the downtown, which is convenient for the tourists, but not for the residents. The citizens who used to live in the city are being pushed out of the city or their living conditions are deteriorating due to rising rent prices and increasing population density. We propose a combination of collective living and tourism as a new housing scheme, in which native tenants become hosts and tourists become guests.

The scheme inserts new structures in the courtyard for collective programs such as shared kitchens and lounges where cultural exchanges take place. The interior spaces of the original building is revamped to serve as the living space for both hosts and the guests. In this space, all users interact and live together. Such a scheme is applicable to any building with an adequate courtyard throughout the Roman city.

We propose a housing scheme based on the most typical building types in Rome, which can be applied city-wide and initiate a virtuous cycle for both the residents of Rome and the tourists in need of accommodation. Respecting the conventional style of the city, we propose a housing scheme based on the Remains of Rome, such that it can apply to building an ecosystem for both native tenants and tourists.

It is designed to become a reliable source of income for the hosts creating new jobs and improving their quality of life. At the same time, the tourists will be able to have a immersive experience on the Roman culture with a chance to socialize with the natives and other travelers creating a virtuous cycle between the tourists and the hosts.

Rome is a tourist capital of the world. It annually attracts more than 9 million visitors who spend more than 4 billion USD. Ironically, such a rush has made Rome very expensive for locals to live in. Lack of means for business and low employ rate made it more difficult for the citizens of Rome to get a space of their own.

Re;Ikseon

Ikseon-dong Hanok(traditional korean house) Village is an active commercial area, but behind it, it has many problems as it becomes a sustainable urban organization. Due to the departure of the resident population, a cavitation phenomenon appeared and the self-recovery ability of the city was weakened. If Hanok is indiscriminately renovated or demolished through rapid commercialization, and consumption is accelerated without people producing culture, the placeness of Ikseon-dong will eventually be exhausted.

In 1930, Ikseon-dong was formed as an urban Hanok residential complex for the common people to meet the social demands of resolving insufficient housing at the time. Since then, Ikseon-dong Hanok Village has been continuously deteriorating in the residential condition, and since the early 2000s, it has become a redevelopment area and turned into a slum in the city center. From 2014, the wind of commercialization began to blow as young entrepreneurs renovated the Hanok and opened distinctive shops based on the location of the Hanok in Ikseon-dong.

1930

In addition, it was composed of a simple consumer-oriented commerce, and a balanced program was not equipped due to the absence of public, cultural, and educational facilities. In order to preserve the sense of place as a Hanok village and become a sustainable urban organization, I propose Ikseon-dong as a village inhabited by cultural and artistic merchants.

In the early stages of commercialization, cultures that matched the Hanok were created and consumed in the culture and art merchants, but not long afterwards, merchants who entered for business in earnest came in, and the business was transformed into a simple consumption center such as restaurants and accessories (yellow:residence, red:commerce) sales, and became unified.

I propose to create a self-sustaining virtuous cycle structure by forming the coexistence of commerce and residence based on culture and art in the Hanok village before de-urbanization and re-urbanization occur while losing placeness due to excessive commercialization. As a commercial site, the degree of vitality will decrease somewhat, but the vitality of the urban organization will increase due to the new residents of Ikseon-dong. To achieve this goal, architecture must play two roles. It is to build a residential function improvement system in which commerce and residence coexist using the spatial system of the existing urban Hanok, and to design a community space that serves as a base for merchants, residents, and visitors in Ikseon-dong.

Hanok Shared Residence (3 Houses)

Hanok Shared Residence Perspective

Hanok Shared Residence I propose a Hanok shared residence using hanoks that are not currently in use. I pay attention to the main space of the Hanok, Madang(yard) and Maru(wood-floored main hall). Both spaces have a variable character and are dual spaces in which the internal and external divisions are determined according to the comparison object. The shared space was divided into small and large according to its characteristics. Small shared spaces are used as Maru and are shared within individuals or families. The Madang, which is a large-scale shared space, is a more public space and is a space shared by all resident.

In the midst of indiscriminate commercialization, I tried to build a system where commerce and residence could coexist by proposing the advantages of housing in the city center. In addition, I made the applicable units by organizing the spatial characteristics of the urban Hanok. Commercial, residential, and workshops are arranged in a single Hanok, where culture and art merchants can live, work, and sell goods. Depending on the layout and size of the Hanok, one-to-three-person households can reside, and two rooms can be connected or separated by transforming Maru. Taking advantage of the characteristics of an Hanok, which is divided into the main building and the annexed building, not only residential but also commercial ones use one annex as a shared kitchen or a shared warehouse. It leads to various shared clusters in Ikseon-dong. In addition, when the main building is used as a residence, the use of the annexed building may vary. It is also possible to use it as a guest house. The revitalization of accommodation and housing functions will bring back the vitality of urban organizations along with commerce.

Community center In an empty bulletin, I propose a building that serves as a cultural, public, and rest facility that was lacking in Ikseon-dong as a community center for culture and art merchants and residents, applying hanok and Korean elements to modern architecture. The site is currently being used as a parking lot in the public notice because it cannot find its use. The new building could serve as an auxiliary device for sustainable Ikseon-dong, with a place that serves as the northern entrance to the Hanok Village as an entrance. The existing alley north of Ikseon-dong had low accessibility due to the disconnection of main streets. In order to solve this problem, a new alley was created and a shared store was placed at the beginning of the alley, following the context as a commercial street in Ikseon. Community Center Perspective

Academic Project

Chakyung

The Madang is empty, just like the Madang of a Hanok, and its personality changes as it establishes a relationship with the surrounding programs. During the day, it is tied to commerce and library, and is used as a flea market and rest area, and at night, it becomes a meeting and exercise space for residents. The awning plays the role of an eave, adjusts the illuminance, and connects the role of a transition space that enters the room from the outside and the flow of movemen t. Because of the glass inside the awning, the mass is not read as a box, but as a plate and the flowing space inside. In a traditional Hanok, Chakyung (a frame that draws outside natural scenery into the interior) looks at nature, but in this space, Chakyung shows Ikseon-dong itself through a frame.

Loop of Consilience

The site is located between Gwangju Stream, commercial district, residential district and civilian park in the urban context. In a closer range, it is surrounded by a commercial incinerator, a heat supply facility, and a forest of metasequoia trees. In this program, it must accommodate various functions such as cultural education facilities, sports facilities, office facilities, performance facilities and reading facilities. In this complex urban, natural, industrial, and programming situation, this library is to form a landscape that embraces the whole situation rather than be a single standing building.

Utilization of existing entrance, vacant lots

Loop of consilience

Rather than placing cultural education facilities, sports facilities, office facilities, and performance facilities with their own characteristics in one building, they are arranged in each building like a incinerator or a heat supply facility. And by connecting these scattered facilities in one loop, we create encompassing scenes of the whole program and scenery. This loop is a field of consilience that connects complex programs. This loop can flexibly respond to the demolition, expansion and change of the surrounding buildings. Library As A Park

It proposes a loop that allows you to cover disparate materials scattered on the site. This loop is a circulating flow of information and knowledge; not a library as a closed place but an open and empty platform. All the solids melt down. Information and knowledge are not trapped, but circulate and spread in nature and scenery. In this floating loop, people integrate knowledge from various fields and then, share and reproduce information while watching industrial heritage and metasequoia forests, which are traces of time.

Flexible arrangment & connection

Promenade pedestrian access system

It connects various urban situations instead of occupying the place as a building. Also, it makes the circulation between facilities and penetrates the pedestrians below floating loop and then it flows into the building. It realizes urban consilience that connects disparate situations such as Gwangju Stream, Incinerator, residential area, and park. The yard attracts people while the wide staircase and rooftop decks provide public space for performances, exhibitions and relaxation. The loop of consilience is like a trail through the forest, and a transparent lobby blurs the line between nature and artificiality. By walking through the woods/forest, people can sit down and read books and then take a walk again. Some exhibitions are held in libraries along the path in the forest, and concerts may be held in the middle of the forest. In the staircase-square like a hill, people sit and talk to each other while reading books. It proposes a transition from a library as a quiet and solemn building to a library as a diverse and animated park.

Professional Works

Through this renovation, the incinerator will be reborn as a wide multipurpose cultural space for EDM performances and popular cultural performances. The function of the cultural facility is added with respecting the memory of the incinerator. Modern industrial facilities are recreated as exhibitions or performance facilities and acquire new meanings of modern times. As keeping the existing garbage disposal facilities and remembering a trace of time, it would be renovated so that various activities of exhibitions, performances, and parties can be held.

Reading room

The preservarion room

In response to the free and open reading room space, the book planning does not place a separate bookshelf made of furniture but makes the wall itself dividing the program space of insideso that bookshelf be. Walls on the upper part of the performance hall, walls on the core, walls of the discussion room, and the story room are composed of bookshelves; the inside of the rectangle is also a bookshelf, and 140,000 books can be arranged in the current plan. The spaces divided into bookshelves make a street landscape with books inside the reading room: a map of the reading room is created by the classification of books.

It is composed of a 5m high-density manual shelf and mobile racks.300,000 copies can be stored. If you expand the preservation library using underground space, you can store up to total of 500,000 copies. Instead of hiding the conservation library as a closed space, the scenery of the high-density shelves is expressed as a temple of books, so that it is shown in the promenade and forest on the first floor. In addition, the preservative library space is also planning a reading room, a non-loan data reading room, and others to attract people.

Formless, shapeliss library The building arrangement fully uses the empty land, preserving trees and forests at most. The existing entrance of the land was maintained, and a circulation was formed. The west entrance is accessible to office facilities and book-in-book vehicles. The north entrance is the main entrance, which is accessible for library visi tors and sports, culture, and performance facilities' users. The existing trees are mostly preserved and the elevation is not designed specifically because the front side of the library is open toward the metasequoia forest, so the forest itself becomes the elevation of the building. Inside the building, we also compose all the programs to appreciate the metasequoia forests in different ways. In the first-floor café and conservation library, you can see 소 e roots and bottoms of the trees. In the second-floor library, you can feel like reading books in the dense forest. And in the thirdf loor rooftop garden and racetrack, you can walk and exercise in the sunlight while watching the top of the tree. The library we propose is a library that minimizes the design, conforming to the original context of nature. All facilities can be connected to the loop of consilience and the circulation system. Physical education, culture, performance, and office facilities are connected to the loop. If the heat supply facility is renovated and used as another facility or completely demolished, the loop of consilience can be flexibly dealt with for those above situations. It can secure the integrity with the whole building group by connecting loop of consilience even when constructing the new program or building. Each building maintains its independence but having rich expandability and complementarity. 49

Earth_HSA | Team Leader # Hongik School of Architecture Student Project Archiving Group # 2019 - Currently

Earth is a web-based service that collects, archives, and freely browses the works of Hongik University's Department of Architecture students, and is the name of a group that builds and operates them. In the HSA, about 1000 new works are created each year. However, only some of the works that can be displayed in an exhibition or collection book of works, most of them disappear when the deadline is over. 'Wouldn't the time and effort be too wasteful for that?'', "Can we preserve them and make them searchable?' Earth started out of these idea. [Earth : ground, land / soil]

Earth tries to collect and share your thoughts in the form you want to express. And through this, we want to create a solid intellectual property for Hongik Shool of Architecture. Any output is fine. Please make the fruit of your sweat not the data in the hard drive, but fertile soil(earth).

As an early member of Earth, I have been setting up a website, branding, building an archiving system, and operating a website and Instagram account. I have been desiged and built websites for a year in the website department. After that, I became a team leader in the data management department and created a data collection and archiving system. With my system, hundreds of projects a year are efficiently archived and published through Instagram and websites.
