site plan

The design had to resolve three problems as follow: First, we had to create a new suffice that responds to the radically changing city: Second, we were subject to design a culture and art center as a center of regional culture: Third, these two facilities should create a coherent complex within one site. 

The site found at the mouth of the new downtown developed along lateral urban axis has been given a symbolic stature as an intersection between the city and the nature. As the site is surrounded by regional favorite tourist attractions and major cultural facilities, it also can be said of a part of urban cultural center.

The major facilities were placed in divided zones by a line parallel to the street flardng the front as one zone contains si-office wing and the other, culture and art center. We tried to solve the problem of discordance between cultural and administrative facilities which have no common program by connecting the two with a deck through external garden. '2' shaped circulative path that wraps around the site was taken into three-dimensional expansion as the path adapted to natural landform while meeting the facilities in various points of different levels. The design of the circulation within the site assumed shared path regardless of respective facility's frequency and volume of visitors for organic weaving of the complex flows.

In conjunction with the building arrangement, program organization within each building followed the path of independence in interconnection' . Si-office wing shaped to project the energy of dashing forward contains two separate zones: the grand theater connected to the external deck was separat-ed from the cafeteria stacked with office zone on the top and public services on the bottom. Culture and Art Center designed to represent Icheon Baekja (indigenous traditional pottery) followed the arrangement in grand theater, medium theater and small theater specific to each theater s peak time and usage frequency. 

New construction of si-office means that city is facing new changes or preparing another leap-forward. In Icheon city at the point of transforming into a city of cutting-edge technology and cultural center, I wish the building becomes a point of departure for city's advancement towards the ideal future as a place where culture meets administration, and as a place filled with gath-ering and experiences.

The biggest challenge of this project was to let the new corporate building express the image of the company that generates energy with new value, not the traditional image of power plant building. Our design strategy was to expressing the changing image 'from East-West Power to Energy is Wonderful Power' . The design concept 'Synergy Plant' was also used to express the new symbolism of Korea East-West Power Company who will lead the future energy industry.

The location plan focused on giving the image of an open company; while the mass planning concentrated on rhythmic sense by utilizing the flow of existing topography. The facade planning created the image of a powerful and environment-friendly power generation company. They altogether contain the value of new company that creates energy for better future. The Ulsan-Woojeong Innovation City has linear city structure, which is different from existing grid-pattern city system. The new corporate building of Korea East-West Power Company will reflect the city structure and green flow of Ulsan-Woojeong Innovation City. The mass articulation and the arrangement are nature-friendly. The project site has big elevation difference more than 14rn. The design utilized this by the functional zoning of lower level mass dependent on different levels.

A great landscape in harmony with surrounding environment maintaining the flow of existing land was created. Since the project site had difficulty for vertical expansion because of aviation height limitation, horizontal dynamics was emphasized and symbolism was given by expanding the flow of existing land. The building energy load has been reduced by passive design such as atrium ventilation, maximization of natural lighting and rooftop garden. On the other hand, system functions were optimized by active design such as highly efficient equipment•material application and adopting rain-water system and grey-water system. Natural energy is actively utilized by solar energy power generation and air-conditioning by geothermal heat pump. Consequently, the corporate building of Korea East-West Power Company. The dynamic design symbolizing the global jump of an energy company will make the corporate building of Korea East-West Power Company as a new symbol of an energy company leading future energy industry and lighting the world by 'Synergy Plant'.

Change and Preparation

We decide to maximize approach to the building by means of a cubic approach method. We plan to establish extra sunken space to connect sunk.on plaza and basement. We plan to construct underground space not only for a passage for a simple circulation connection but also for a place of resting and staying by planning atrium. Taking approach from Bujeon-dong Subway Station into account, we establish a underground entrance in the side of the to give an easy entrance to the stores. 

Development of planning 

We had to rank priority on functions for the section planning, because the location of stores and financial facilities was conflicting with each other. We decided to give a direct entrance on the first floor for stores because the approach is an important element for stores. For financ. facilities we plan to compensate weak points terms of approach by establishing entra circulation through a sunken space. circulation planning we separate traffic circulatis from passenger circulation to secure safety convenience of users. Therefore we estabt circulation for passengers in the front of build' and circulation for traffic in the rear of building. The circulation for stores is separated from thi. for office facilities in order to prevent from. confusion of circulation. For the floor planning,* office facilities, core is separated from offal centering on the middle yard to secure naturel lighting. A wide resting space on the rooftop provides with a comfortable office environment The focus of this planning is to give shape to image of a complex building through mass constitution and a future-oriented image of Nonghyup. We introduce a circular atrium for: stores to emphasize a visual recognition and adapt intimate colors and materials to maximize circulation inflow into stores. In general, we Oe. shape to a future-oriented and high-tech image: of Nonghyup by means of a transparent. elevation constitution. (written by Seokangionghap Architects office. Ltd.)

Fanshawe Street / Architectus

Architects: Architectus

Location: Auckland, New Zealand

Client: Townscape Properties

Project area: 7,500 sqm

Project year: 2007

Photographs: Simon Devitt

On a site at the edge of Auckland’s central business district the client briefed a medium-scale, speculative commercial development. Located on a busy intersection, one side faces a major arterial route into the city and the other looks across a major city park.

Medium sized floor plates (1,300m²) have a ceiling height of three metres and a maximum distance to external glazing of 11 metres. An internal courtyard protects daylight to the eastern façade and provides for building servicing and car park access. The northern façade responds to the scale and busy nature of Fanshawe Street with a slightly taller building height and a series of rhythmic yet playful vertical concrete fins spanning three floors, forming a strong edge to the street, and providing shading from the northern sun.

The western façade overlooks Victoria Park with full height glazing at the two lower levels and clear full height glazing with the addition of aluminium vertical fins to control solar gain on the upper levels. The two façades slide past each other at the corner where a glazed wall spans between the two elements, bringing people and activity up to the street corner. The glazed wall is cut back at street level to provide shelter for pedestrians, and links back to the building entry with a short portico. Sustainable features integrated into the design of this building include solar shading, high performance glazing, high levels of insulation, T5 light fittings and low water usage fittings. Cooling and heating is by a VRV multi split air-conditioning system controlled by a building management system.
