Spatial Solutions in Response to the Bonguisan Mountain Hill Village - The Bonguisan Mountain Hill Village is a small-scale urban fabric that has adapted to the local topography, creating a complex and disorganized landscape with a variety of buildings ranging from reinforced concrete and steel frames, which are prevalent in contemporary architecture, to wooden and masonry structures of the modern era. We wanted the Gyodong Community Center to embody the tangible and intangible values of the village while remaining in harmony with its surroundings. The design avoided the construction of large and enclosed governmental buildings and instead planned along the lines of the smallest units possible to enhance accessibility and use. The building is divided into two buildings and spaces of five programs; different shapes and exterior building materials were applied to the two divided buildings to eliminate the idea of an independent site or building complex and to appear as if they had long existed here.
