The Vision

Fostering its natural environment such as world class Suncheon Bay Garden, Suncheon has succeeded in promoting itself to be an eco-city.

Through the creation of a city associated with its excellent natural environment, it navigates through a new urban development generating a

positive impression on visitors and its own citizens.

However, despite having a variety of historical and cultural trails within the Suncheon Wall, the Old City has been neglected due to rapid

industrialization. In the early 2000s, by arranging scattered historical trails and networking with current cultural potential, the City of Suncheon,

the citizens and experts have been making efforts to regenerate the Old City articulating a new vision for it as a Humanities City.

The Suncheon Art Platform will play a crucial role to the exploration of the importance and meaning of the humanities city. One goal of this

competition is to find possibilities of an art center that help test its potential, as a generator of the revival of the Old City as more than a

showcase of art works, as a gateway to cultural activity, a hub of community activity, and how that all interrelates with the adjacent cultural and

historical trails. This competition hopes to help the City of Suncheon test find a repository of cultural and historical assets contained within the

City of Suncheon so that citizens and visitors can engage in Suncheons cultural and historical trails with other people. The other goal is to define

strategic interventions the city will choose for the development of the competition site. This competition hopes to suggest the City of Suncheon

how the Suncheon Art platform, composed of an art center, visitor center, an open plaza and the new Yeonja-rucould respond to the demands

of the City to have a tourist hub with iconic design that will help strengthen the Citys overall impressions.

Through the novel proposals of architects around the globe we hope to develop the Suncheon Art Platform with creative interpretations. These

creative interpretations, within context, will have a comprehensive convergence of the rich historic and cultural elements in Suncheon. This will

showcase the potential of the Humanities City by engaging in the ongoing urban regeneration of the Old City.

The Suncheon Art Platform is scheduled to be completed in 2018 with the winning proposal if it satisfies the urban and architectural expectations

of the City. The first prize winner will be mandated to further develop his proposal. Along with gardens with vegetation such as Suncheon Bay

Garden that represents the eco-city of Suncheon, the Suncheon Art Platform is expected to foster sustainable urban development through

planting a historic / cultural context representing the humanities city of Suncheon.

Outcome of Competition

The city of Suncheon does not claim rights or ownership over the

proposition. This is private property under which we chose to place

this investigation for the purpose of ideas discussion. However,

if the winning project, the first prize, satisfies the urban and

architectural expectations of the City, The City of Suncheon will

mandate its author to pursue further development of his project.

Design Contract

The design contract shall conform to the related laws of Korea and

act on contracts to which the state is a party. The design contract

shall be signed with the author of the first prize project. However,

in case the author does not have a member who is a registered

architect in Korea, the contract shall be co-signed by the author

and the representative of the architectural firm registered in Korea

and that the representative will be the primary co-signer. This is to

adhere to the Architect Laws of Korea and to facilitate the process

of gaining a building permit.

Supplementation of Qualification

If the author of the first prize project lacks qualifications in civil

engineering, landscaping, electrics, communications, fire safety,

surveying, or geological surveying, he/she must co-sign a contract

with one who has the necessary qualifications to divide or sharethe duties of executing the contract.

Scope of Design

The author will have the architectural direction of the project.

Scope of work is based on the design brief which will be

determined according to the result of a series of discussions after

the competition based on the regulations of the City of Suncheon.

The basic work scope regarding the design of this project

includes finalizing the schematic design and providing design

and construction documents. Additional tasks include; surveying

of site and soil testing, colorscape design, gaining permit for the

implementation, drawing and support for urban schematic plans,

and evaluation on the impact for the environment and traffic.

All the cost related to the work scope such as the costs for reviews,

certifications, and permits will be included in the design contract.

Modification / Supplements / Revision in Design

If need be, the author of the first prize project must integrate the

Jury Committee's comments and the client's demands and provide

a revised version of the winning entry. The author must also reflect

in the design the modifications resulting from the changes of priority

plans (urban schematic plans, urban management plans, various

impact evaluations, design reviews and permits, certification for

the first grade energy efficiency, green architecture certification,

etc.). In addition to the priority plans listed above, the author must

reflect in the design the modifications resulting from the decisions

of the City and the Cultural Property Commission after excavation

The New Yeonja-Ru

(SITE B)

Identity

Demolished more than 85 years ago, the old Yeonja-ruwas the main

gateway to the Old City of Suncheon. There have been efforts to form

a social consensus to build reminiscences of the old Yeonja-ruas an

iconic figure of the city. It is very important that the new Yeonja-ru

will not be the mere restoration of old one. Through contemporary

interpretation of the old, both in aesthetics and programs, it will be

a new icon of the Old City recognizing trails of the city wall and the

South Gate where the old Yeonja-ruonce rested.

Yeonja-ruis an attic structure functioned as the South Gate of the Suncheon Wall. It

was used to lead the troops, look out over the territory and receive quests in public.

According to ancient accounts, it is believed that Yeonja-ruwas first built during goryeo

dynasty (918-1392) and perched on the edge of the Ok-cheon(the Ok river) over the

Yeonja-gyo. It had been destroyed and reconstructed several times until it was finally

demolished in 1930. It was destroyed during the 2nd Japanese Invasion of Korea in

1597 and reconstructed in 1619 by the regional governor. It was washed away along

with the Yeonja-gyo(the Yeonjabridge) by a flood and reconstructed in 1633.

In 1919, Hang-Rae Park led the independence movement at Yeonja-ru during the

Japanese Occupation (1910-1945) and the Japanese Government demolished it in

1930 in excuse of an urban modification plan.

The New Yeonja-ru(100)

It shall be a belvedere or a gazebo through interpretation of the

old Yeonja-ru by participants. It could be a balcony or a series of

balconies, terraces or any other forms of open or covered space that

is reminiscent of the old Yeonja-ruin both aesthetics, programs and

meanings.

Cafeteria (200)

This will work as a restaurant open to the general public. According to

the placement in the composition site and in the building it might be

in, this section can have different functioning hours of the remaining

building or other buildings.

Detailed Information on Yeonja-ru

Ru, an attic structure floating from the ground to have a far and wide view and jeongja

built on a location with wonderful scenery were used as places for spiritual discipline

in an elegant natural setting. Yangbans, members of the aristocracy, whose job was

to study Confucianism aimed to discipline themselves to become close to a seoninor

xianin Chinese whose existence shares a sense of oneness with the natural world.

The xianarchetype is described here by Victor H. Mair.

They are immune to heat and cold, untouched by the elements, and can fl y, mounting

upward with a fluttering motion. They dwell apart from the chaotic world of man,

subsist on air and dew, are not anxious like ordinary people, and have the smooth skin

and innocent faces of children. The transcendents live an effortless existence that is

best described as spontaneous. They recall the ancient Indian ascetics and holy men

known as i who possessed similar traits.1994:376

It was their philosophy of life to adapt to nature and to manage frugal living. Thus

jeongjaandruwere used by yangban to compose and recite a poem w hile entertaining

themselves with their fellows. Jeongja was built and enjoyed by individuals and ruwas

used publicly.

During Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897) jeongjawas widely spread in the ruling class,

Yangban, as Confucianism was applied to the everyday life as well as the national

ideology. As the location of jeongja in the mountains and in the fields would show,

jeongjawere built where they could pursue a unity with nature. Gradually its placement

became close to daily life, even placing it in the housing complex or even becoming

a part of residential housing. Therefore, jeongja functioned for personal disciplines,

education, ancestor worship, and friendly gatherings.
