Gimpo Art Hall
The proposal for the Gimpo Art Hall embraces the city’s status as an
emerging regional hub while reflecting upon history and local
environment.
This Art Hall aims to become a signature destination in the city.
The image of a tree was chosen to reflect the culture of Gimpo’s
agrarian past and also as a symbol of the central gathering space for
the community.
The concept for the design was derived from considering the City’s History and newly found economic status in South Korea.
Situated on the southern bank of the Han River, Gimpo is a city in
the process of transforming from an agricultural economy towards a
contemporary consumer-based economy.
Flow and Branch:

Float, Cover, and Reveal:
By lifting the building mass above the street level, a covered
pedestrian plaza is created. The formal Entrance is also elevated,
