Summary: The purpose of the design competition is to select a reasonable, creative, and artistic entry that meets the concept of the new Gangseo-gu government office complex.
Description: The current government office building of Gangseo-gu was established in 1977 and the facilities have deteriorated somewhat over the past 40 histrorical years. Also, it was inevitable to separate the space into 9 facilities due to the narrow area which led to a lack of connectivity and efficiency of work. Thus, demand increased to establish a new government office complex that allows integrated administrative services and includes an open space for residents.
As we head towards 50 years of establishment, Gangseo-gu now prepares for the next 50 years through the new government office and the symbolic significance that is necessary when preparing for a future city.
The objective of this competition is to obtain a plan for a new Gangseo-gu government office complex that is a community space that has been prepared for and is open to the residents as it connects between people, and between nature and space to secure work efficiency and connectivity. The purpose of the design competition is to select a reasonable, creative, and artistic entry that meets the concept of the new Gangseo-gu government office complex.
