Re:Node | 도심 제조지역 공공미술 공모
Client: City Creation LAB Program: Public Space Design Location: Sungsoo-dong, Seoul Team: COL.C, Yunsun Shim Year: 2016
This proposal aims to improve the condition of the streets that have been indiscriminately developed around a Node*. The Node is a major hub of creating new public spaces by generated the locality of this area. To this end, the proposal defines a critical Node where the roads intersect major public spaces in Sungsu-dong and where residents and visitors can naturally hang out and interact, not just roundabouts or intersections passing through them. Using most of the elements that make up an existing street (building facade, pedestrian crossing, bicycle racks, sidewalk pavement, street furniture, and street trees), the proposal reconfigure multi-layered urban fabric. Gradually, the redefined nodes will be more discovered and connected in this neighborhood. This leads to strengthening the holistic local identity of Sungsu-dong where diversity and creativity is welcomed.
*Node; strategic focus points for orientation like squares and junctions (Kevin Lynch, 1960)
