How should we restore historic fabrics in a modern context?

『 The Venice Charter (1964) 』

INTERNATIONAL CHARTER FOR THE CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF MONUMENTS AND SITES

Ar ticle 9.

“The process of restoration is a highly specialized operation. Its aim is to preserve and reveal the aesthetic and historic value of the monument and is based on respect for original material and authentic documents. It must stop at the point where conjecture begins, and in this case moreover any extra work which is indispensable must be distinct from the architectural composition and must bear a contemporary stamp. The restoration in any case must be preceded and followed by an archaeological and historical study of the monument.”

Birth of Yulgok-road, disconnecting heritages

Overlaps of 1931 and 2019 Yulgok-Road

In 1931, during the Japanese colonial era, a new city plan resulted in the separation of Jongmyo Shrine and Changgyeonggung Palace from the rest of the city. This disconnection of cultural properties from the people contributed to the suppression of Joseon culture. Besides Yulgok-road, there are various other roads in the area that also disconnect heritage sites.

Maps from before 1931 are not reliable for identifying specific locations or features. Therefore, it is reasonable to use 1931 as the starting point for restoration efforts, as it is difficult to accurately determine the historical significance of earlier periods. Thus, it is crucial to carefully coordinate and collaborate on the manipulation of different timelines for the next step.

Historical Representation in Korea

Restoration projects in South Korea have often resulted in indiscriminate results that ignore the essential meaning and purpose of restoration. Overlooking the significance of preserving cultural heritage and historical significance could bring people today to misunderstand the facts.

Restoration Strategy 1. Respecting 2019

It is important that restoration projects remain relevant to modern times while also respecting the historical significance of 1931.

Restoration Strategy 2. Tracing Historic Significances of 1931

Finding and manipulating the elements of the connection created by the 1931 wall

The site contains two main axis. The horizontal axis of 2019 Yulgok-road and the vertical axis of 1931 where the wall and Bukshin gate was connecting the two heritages. Manipulating historical traces from the 1931 wall line, re-organizing the elements with two axis.

Five significant points with sectors could be manipulated. Optimize visitor access to two distinct heritage sites. Yulgok Road, a well-established spaces in daily use since 2019, offers a pedestrian-friendly gateway to these cultural treasures.

Five Historical Significance

The strategy to restore Yulgok-road aims to turn it to street where people walk and rest in their daily lives. The architecture itself could make a space that can amplify the moods where people can meditate. The five main elements which is the new Bukshinmun-Gate, Jongmyo-Platform, Underground, Connections, and Intersecting walls will manipulate the daily lives in historical manner.

Bukshinmun Gate

Bukshinmun, the gate that the king used to connect the two cultural properties, becomes a vertical and horizontal transition space that amplifies spatial experience.

Platform

In the space belonging to Jongmyo, a wide platform Woldae symbolizes the Jongmyo. Next to it, the old 1931 fortress wall line forms the main movement line.

Underground

Plan an underground connecting passage to amplify spatial transition. The passage leading to the heterogeneous Yulgok-ro establishes a zone on Yulgok-ro.

Bridge

The new and old bridges actively connect the two cultural properties and at the same time intersect the elements to provide a new space.

Intersecting Wall

The intersecting walls impression on people through their heterogeneous but harmonious appearance through difference.

Social Magnet

The construction of the Gyeongbu Line railroad in Busan resulted in the city being divided into four parts, leading to a disconnection between urban centers. To revitalize the city and improve connectivity, the Gyeongbu Line has proposed an undergroundization plan with Busanjin Station serving as the starting and ending point. As a closed station, Busanjin Station presents a unique opportunity for various revitalization projects to be initiated, beginning with the surrounding ports. Recognizing this potential, the area surrounding Busanjin Station aims to become a hub for urban regeneration. By serving as a node that connects the underdeveloped residential area in the north with the new North port development project in the south, this area aims to drive youth development and rejuvenation in the city.

Synapse of Urban Regeneration

The overpass that used to cut off pedestrian routes has been reconnected to direct circulation to the knots of the Seoul Station Overpass. Old memories of overpasses have emerged in a new form in the urban context, and it has the potential to address urban imbalance problems. The road has been transformed into a pedestrian-friendly street and decorated with artificial trees and various events. However, the various events are all crowded onto a narrow path, which has led to boredom. What people need is an indoor space where they can simply avoid the sun and enjoy.

The Potential of Pedestrian Density

The Hangang-ro zone is considered a central area of the Seoul Station Overpass, where people from the Namdaemun, Seoul Square, Malli-dong, and Seoul Station neighborhoods converge.

Integrated Botanical Garden

Seoul-ro, the overpass which is planned to be a new botanical street can have a opportunity to be a core of urban regeneration that is full of green, when people enjoy green in spaces with sufficient comfort.

How should we renovate architectures in historic&cultural site?

Follwing the original language

Surrounded by Eulji-ro's rough hardware stores, the building has a single facade among industrial facilities. However, the building cannot avoid the changing flow of Euljiro. Small buildings around them will disappear and will eventually be filled and elevated to conform to a society that requires high density. As it is a high-rise urban project, the facade will be an important thing to consider. Euljiro needs a new density building which fits to Eulji-ro. The rough industrial area, full of 1900s architectures, the new renovation buildings should follow the original language of Eulji-ro.

Symbiosis and Synergy between Two Programs

Located in the bustling center of Euljiro, this building requires a higher density to accommodate the influx of new programs being implemented in neighboring low-rise structures. As a site for extension, this building is also recognized for its historical and preservation value for its facade. The dual function of hosting both hotels and offices presents a unique challenge in reconciling the conflicting demands of these two program types.

Following

Saring the Core

Office and Hotel, having a different condition with hight level, interior, exterior, and program are sticked by the core. The core not only combines these two programs but also provide community programs.

Two confilcting programs, Hotel and Office, are simultaneously separated and stacked from each other. Symbiotic, enables two different programs with different hight to coexist. It embraces the need of being high rise in many contemporary building in Eljiro.

Preservation Horizontal Extension Vertical Stack

Symbiosis and Synergy between the Two Programs

The floor plan is determined by the existing structure and wall lines. The existing structure will be reinforced and an open plan will be designed for the office area, which will be expanded upwards while minimizing the structural elements. The void space can be utilized as a smart space, and the core that enables this function condenses two different levels and becomes an organ that moves the building simultaneously.

Organized on different height levels with a core connecting them, enabling the integration of the two functions.

Making a synergy with community programs when different hights meet together, providing a open sapce.

The verticality of the Euljiro building is a defining feature that sets it apart from other buildings in the area. This characteristic creates a sense of grandeur and visual interest that is essential to the building's overall aesthetic appeal. Also, a modernized Euljiro building that retains its unique character and history while also meeting the needs of contemporary society. This help to maintain the atmosphere and ensure that it remains a treasured cultural landmark.

How should we deal with gentrifying old village?

Altering urban fabric

Mullae Creative Village, home to craftsmen, artists, and citizens, has seen an increase in visitors due to the recent move of artists into the area. However, the current state of the environment has led to disappointment among visitors with high expectations. To address this, our project aims to incorporate local identity elements such as light, water, and iron to address the four core issues present in the village and improve the environment. By implementing these solutions, we hope to foster a sense of community and respect among all groups within the village.

Mullae, in Need of Improvement

The mix of traditional ironsmiths and new artists in Mullae-dong has caused problems related to the outdated street environment and coexistence of the two groups. These issues need to be addressed through revitalization efforts or other solutions to maintain the positive aspects of the village.

Residents' Needs and Requirements

To prevent gentrification, a number of artists in Seoul have lived as nomads and eventually migrated to Mullae-dong. After several stages, other areas in Seoul underwent gentrification and Mullae-dong became the final stage.

The coexistence of traditional iron workers and artists in Mullae-dong has resulted in conflicts and a unique atmosphere. The artists have moved into vacant rooms in the village and coexist with the iron workers.

use should be induced to minimize conflicts between ironworkers, artists, and tourists. Day time and Night time would show difference.

Artists' human resources offer a variety of exhibitions and art programs. This makes it possible to attract active tourists.

Four Major Problems in Mullae

Four major problems were identified through field research and stakeholder interviews in Mullae Creative Village. These problems include the need for programs to revitalize the local economy, the use of time slots to minimize daily disturbances, the separation and illumination of pedestrians, and the reduction of fine dust. The solutions will consider the environmental analysis of Mullae-dong, the climatic conditions of Korea, and the usage patterns of the village's users. A design strategy that minimally disrupts daily life will be crucial for revitalizing the Mullae Art Village.

Five Poblems to Five Potentials

Replace 5 problems to 5 possibilities. This reinforces the contin- uous flow of the street into a 'Multifunctional steel Line'.

The iron trench represents the identity of Mullae-dong.

The physical separation of pedestrians makes narrow alleys even narrower. Cognitive pedestrian separation not only strengthens the function of the street.
