About Interface 수변 공원

인터페이스(Interface)는 대한민국 서울 한강을 위한 수변 공원 제안이다. 이 설계는 5.6킬로미터에 이르는 보행 네트워크를 대상으로 하며, 세 개의 구역과 여섯 가지 주제로 구분된다. 아홉 개의 연결 거점은 램프와 엘리베이터를 활용해 서로 다른 높이의 레벨을 잇고, 다양한 활동을 위한 고가 플랫폼과 그늘진 공간을 조성한다. 색채로 구분된 보행로와 자전거 도로는 식재된 배수 녹지대를 사이에 두고 양편에 배치된다. 새로운 조명과 명확한 사인 체계는 안전성과 방향 인지성을 향상시킨다. 인터페이스는 모든 신체적 조건의 사람들에게 강변으로의 동등한 접근성을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The proposal aims to have a holistic development of the Hangang River Pedestrian Network through 3 main principles: inclusivity, layering programs through vertical elements, and considering day and night cycles to strengthen existing programs. After a detailed site analysis, the design team identified the lack of lighting, the lack of signage, and physical barriers for people with special needs as the three most critical conditions to address. The INTERFACE on pedestrian network and connection bases serve to provide easier access of people with different needs. It will bring the equal enjoyment of Hangang River to everyone.
Dimensions & Packaging: 5.6km long of park and connection along the waterfront. The main network can be divided into 3 zones with 6 themes starting from the northwest. It begins from the Yeouinaru Station with large vibrant open zones to having an natural base at the Saetgang river and a coastal network below the Olympic daero, and finally breaking out to a calm forest walk whose trail ends at the Dongjak Station next.
Tags: play space, playground, inter generational, landscape
Production Technology: Layered programs on the 9 connection bases allow people to experience Hangang River in 3-dimensional ways. Elevated platforms provide additional floor space in the same area on multiple levels to be available for use in contrast to a single grade plane. Programs like exhibitions, seating spaces, and events can now use the river as a backdrop. Areas below the Olympic-daero are utilized and designed to improve its walkability.
Design Challenge: Aiming to enhance existing resources and qualities of the site, the proposal analyzes the standout properties per zone. P-01 has large open zones that host a variety of vibrant activities by the locals and tourists which provides direct interaction with the river. P-02 is being developed as the ecological base. P-03 has areas for leisurely activities with its coast. P-04 is mostly situated under the Olympic-daero. P-05 has the beautiful colorful tree line that changes colors throughout the season and P-06 invites calm with its forest trail.
Research: The existing pedestrian path has no clear designations for the cycling path or the on-foot path. The proposal introduces a colored, separated bike/on-foot path to be easily identifiable for users, with a bioswale strip in between. They go along with the 6 identified themes while providing a new identity with large legible graphics and signages featuring high contrasts, and lighting levels to enhance the walking and biking experiences.
Inspiration: The site is separated by change in topography. Our intervention are mostly ramps and wheelchair friendly slope to connect people of all abilities to the main waterfront of Seoul in South Korea.
Project Duration: Started in December 2019 in Seoul, South Korea
Operation Flow: The 9 connection bases use ramps and elevators to connect multiple levels while creating elevated platforms and shaded spaces for activities. The sensitive intervention will minimize impact to existing trees, foot paths and surrounding residents. Landscape, lighting and signage ideas are designed to take inclusivity to the current standard. They will allow for a sustainable, safe, vibrant and memorable experiences.
