Asian Culture Complex
Gwangju, Korea
“We proposed that the extruded surface of the earth act as a framework for the Asian Culture Complex,” says principal Chang Hoon Shin of the competition entry for a civic project. An earthwork centerpiece morphs into paths, open plazas, and the apexes of underground gallery spaces. “The complex becomes the strata of contours tracing the history of Gwangju while preserving the existing urban fabric.”
