#LANDSCAPING AND URBAN PLANNING PROJECTS

sejong-daero cultural park & plaza designed by daniel valle architects

madrid based firm daniel valle architects presents the ‘sejong-daero cultural park’ proposal, an ambitious project that hopes to establish new interpretations of public space in seoul, south korea.

equal parts cultural heritage, underground connection hub, and city wide ideas generator, the plaza hopes to empower both residents and the urban area as a whole.

amidst a range of inclusions, the most interesting feature is the plaza’s surface construction — which would be made of soft rubber sourced from donated phone cases. a single passage leads to the underground portion, which is dominated by a multi-purpose auditorium. this area is designated to serve loosely as a location for work and civil discussions focusing on the improvement of seoul at large. aside from its loftier ambitions, the ‘sejong-daero cultural park’ is an interesting take on public space, and offers visitors a pleasant place to pause during their day.
