International Competition of Rebuilding Busan Station Area

Location: Busan, Korea
Status: Proposal
Program: Instructure
Design Team: WAO Architects
Principal Architect: Chi-Cheng Lee
Designer: Che-Kuang Chuang 

This is a project for rebuilding Busan Station front area. According to the flow studies of the station area, we propose a bridge-runway to connect the station entry, subway entry and the other side blocks. This bridge is not only the path way between north and south side but also the place for creative activities such as performances, fashion shows and Sunday market. On the both sides of the runway are small plazas for street actors and performers. They can use these public spaces for practices and having some tiny shows. Meanwhile these plazas can also be used as the audience seats for people to watch shows on the bridge runway during ferstivals. In the end this project not only become the connection of the north side and south side but also become the hub of creative economy.
