A dense building forest composed with apartment or shopping center and many electric signs that are closely spaced over the dense buildings are the visible aspects of cities we meet every day. People are exposed to noise of buses, subways and other people, also there are no place to seat. Each apartment is eager to make their own oasis. Places which are able to form public community become rare.

There are 1,200 buses and 30,000 people use this facility per day on the average. The parking lot is crowded with buses. A bus circulation is inefficient, and there are not have enough chairs as well. Users should stand for waiting.

nance spaces, so waiting space can have large space. It is efficient.
5. outdoor parking lot
#3 Going up, spaces for meditating and thinking appears.

Plan & Section Strategy Departure, Arrival, Maintenance, and Parking lots are efficient if it is one circulation. At ground level, car access and people circulation naturally works. Indoor space mass of terminal is lifted up. People are going up to waiting space for ticketing and waiting. Because terminal mass has park and resting place, waiting space makes comfortable. People can go up silent place naturally. And they can meditate in silent space before taking on the bus.

This site has been a memorable place because Lee Sang who was the most jenious artist and architect lived 100 years ago. The korean traditional architecture, called Han-ok, has many advantages such as sustainability, eco-friendly architecture, and wood materials. Our concept is remaining the spaces of the Han-ok intact and filling an exhibition program in the building, and a kindergarten program is able to make children play in the Ma-dang; the han-ok’s outdoor garden.
