Because the project site sits next to the old palace of Baekje, one of the three dynasties settled in Korean Peninsula 2000 years ago, we were trying to find a solution for ‘Old’ and ‘New’ to coexist; ‘Landscape’ as ‘Architecture’ was the theme for this project. A linear band of shops are connected to form a ring-like structure that are deformed to fit into the eastern part of the site; thus created are three distinctive inner court-yards. The outer walls of the band are stone-clad so that it resembles the old castle walls and the roof of the shopping block is a ‘grand’ plaza park that provides visitors a new resting area. The notion of ‘Landscape’ as a new form of ‘Architecture’ allows us to focus inner courts to be expressed as a ‘modern’ creature that has a life of its own; this duality satisfies a problem of mixing old and new – the roof garden and the exterior stone walls are to act as an old castle’s remnants.
