International competition - Public administration town |
||||
| A Korean team, led by Sehan Yoon, is winner of the international competition for the masterplan of the new central government administration town, on an area of 2,700,000 m2, in the province of Chungcheongnam, in the Republic of Korea. Entitled Flat City-Link City-Zero City, the project proposes a flat city as an alternative to the high-density vertical modern city; a link city where everyone has an equal chance of leading a happy urban life with all physical and philosophical urban components linked together; a zero city which emulates nature's efficiency to reduce waste and save energy. This project, destined to become a symbol of 21st century Korea, an exemplary and sustainable realisation, is part of a vast planning process that aims to create a balance between growth and development in the Republic of Korea. Launched by the Multi-functional Administrative City Construction Agency (MACCA) and the Korea Land Corporation (KLC), this single stage competition was approved by the International Union of Architects. |
