The City of Confluence
Suncheon, South Korea
2020

  • More than half of the site is dedicated to a city park. City Hall is proposed as a compact building that defines the site’s northern edge, leaving the area to the south free for an extensive park.

    With the park at the centre of the proposal, a green corridor extends beyond the site, running between the two historic temples in the foothills to the east and west. City Hall and City Park together serve as a point of convergence within the city.

    A low-rise horizontal volume hosts the civic functions, while two independent vertical volumes house the council and private offices.
