Eco Centre, Busan, Korea
OIKOSLOGOS
The International Architectural Competition for an Eco Centre, Busan, Korea
The site for the Eco Centre was once covered with sea water.
The boundary of the Eco Centre, OIKOSLOGOS, is beyond the building itself but space associated with it. The Eco Centre is the starting platform for learning about the island, the Nakdong River, Busan and the earth as a whole…the nature. For example, the activities, bird-watching, Zooplankton, exploration, hydrological and water quality, rowing and sailing on the Nakdong River form part of the educational program by opening up internal spaces outside.
The building itself is an exhibition of nature, a series semi- protected/ covered/ controlled spaces enable wing, light and rain to be experienced by the visitors. Man made and nature – protected and unprotected. Architecturally, the proposed Eco Centre is articulated and echoing to both conflict and harmony; Nature and man-made to achieve a positive co-existence of human beings and nature. An architectural balancing act: dialogue between...
Central to the Hall is a main vertical access, a set of lifts through which visitors can rise up to the top of the Eco- Centre. Located at the top is an outdoor Platform, forming first part of an outdoor ecological Observatory - A, visitors enjoy view of the whole building, observation of the Ulsuk island, the Nakdong river and beyond…the nature. Below the outdoor Platform, all exhibition spaces are within view. Staircases and ramps lead to the spaces below. Spaces are organized as an anti-clockwise vortex, radiating outwards. From the Platform looking below, visitors become part of the exhibition as human beings are part of the eco system.
Building area: 3,500 sqm |
