Dongbu Parks and Landscape Management Office, Seoul Metropolitan Government
Design Competition of Remodeling of Animal Performance Hall, Seoul Children’s Grand Park, Korea
It has been over 50 years since Children’s Grand Park opened. The park, which has been used by citizens for a long time, has been outdated, and especially the animal performance hall is being underutilized. Therefore, we plan to renovate it as a small performance hall to meet the needs of citizens for improving the facility and hosting various programs.
This competition’s objective is to select an architect with creativity on how to transform this aging facility so that the animal performance hall can serve as a center for new leisure activities in Children’s Grand Park, and work together to solve the problem from the planning of this project.
