The green tomorrow with water color flowing -Architecture Competition Annual 2012 /

In Suseo, Tan-cheon Brook flows along the ridge of Daemo-san Mountain and brilliant water-color flows containing the morning sunlight. The flow also meets with Jaenggol Village. The future of Suseo is drawn taking this land of Suseo as a canvas.

There are farming roads, patterns of cultivated lands and transverse water flow from retention pond in the project site. We applied the principle of water-flow to project site and made the levels various in architectural way so that Suseo will breathe with surrounding and have efficient and three-dimensional connection with future development, existing underground Suseo Subway Station and GTX. A dynamic and rhythmical shape expressing the various shapes of water-flow(such as stillness, rotating speed and water current) had been drawn by way of this principle.

Perspective KTX Suseo Station Seoul 1

A powerful and speedy shape is expressed containing the flying up Vision of railway taking the motifs from the flow of local Tan-cheon Brook, flow of KTX speed and wave-cross image of the railway. The design expresses the vitality of green tomorrow and the beginning point of jump like the flying-up of traditional kite floating above the extensive Suseo field.

Perspective KTX Suseo Station Seoul 2

The position of Suseo High-Speed Rail Station building considered the awareness and the accessibility from existing Suseo Subway Station crossroad. A dynamic mass that goes up along the railway, wind, water- flow and light-flow is created in harmony with functions. Each zone converges following the sloped roof and links with each other in organic way. The environment-friendly Suseo High-Speed Rail Station with green rail is imagined here.
