INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION for the New GANGBUK-GU Government Office Complex

Title

• INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION for the New GANGBUK-GU Government Office Complex

Background

• Through the construction of the new Gangbuk-gu office complex, the aim is to consolidate dispersed public administrative facilities to enhance resident access and convenience, and  provide improved public administrative services through one-stop administrative services.
• The new Gangbuk-gu office complex is intended to be an administrative complex town, supplying the necessary living social overhead capital (SOC) that is lacking in Gangbuk-gu. It aims to increase cultural opportunities for local residents, serve as a community space that provides various social contact opportunities unlike the traditional ‘government office,’ and foster regional economic vitality by creating a distinctive space that supports youth activities and startups.
• Create a global landmark through creative and symbolic design that transcends the region, thereby enhancing the pride of Gangbuk residents.
