Proposed by group of architects from Mass Studies, the New Seoul City Hall located in Junggo, Seoul and will consist of Commercial District, Central Aesthetic Zone, and Fire Prevention zone with total site area of 12,709.4 m2. The concept is Unity and Multiplicity which try to unify the old Seoul City Hall and the new Seoul City Hall to create “one” space.
To achieve Unity and Multiplicity simultaneously through architecture, the new Seoul City Hall should establish a single identity as a complex, while sensitively maintaining respect to the iconic old City Hall structure and drawing from the diverse urban context the site’s full potential. Hence, the new proposal should be formed by the complex conditions that have existed within and beyond the site.
