Rhythm City Seoul 2123

Nodes, arranged at intervals of up to 400 meters, will serve as the city’s infrastructure promoting downtown. Also, these become the anchor point for floating structures that used to cross the Hangang River and the depot collecting water from the mountain.
The Urban fabric that is reorganized by the multi-layered platform will keep on rhythmic urban experience with recovered nature in Seoul. The multi-layered platform can be applied to any disconnected space and this is the design to create a soft city landscape. Void space will take a roll of windway releasing Urban Heat Island, and ground-level space underneath the Void will cool down around the site by restoring it to green space and stream. High-rises will be placed in consideration of mountains and wind paths, then connected with aerial platforms in the shape of a web. The space between these web-like platforms, which we call “voids”, will be designed to minimize Seoul’s density. The use of high-rises will reduce ground space occupied by a building, thereby the rest of the ground space is restored to ecological space.
