After decades of economic upheaval, Seoul is now emerging as a cultural capital.
The development of new public spaces is the tool used by the Metropolitan Government to increase the quality of urban life.
Nevertheless, these are generally securely controlled and restricted to segregated social classes;
The area next to Seoul Central Station is one of the few important open spaces that sees the hybrid use of the space from the homeless and the tourists/commuters.
This project takes advantage of the opportunity to interact with different social classes.
Thus, two readaptable pavilions were conceived to accommodate a variety of new and existing functions.
The result is a social - artistic - community shaping tool;
