A Design Proposal for Renovation of the Heuk-seok Subway Station As a Path of Social Ecology

초록

Abstract. Paying attention to the situation under which no more reading of urban space through existing city codes is possible, the study is focused on the Heukseok Subway Station as a transportation means that make understanding of fragmented city space possible within the cycles of de-codifying and re-codifying. The study attempts to examine how the Heukseok Subway Station enters into a relation with the socio-cultural realm of the area where the station is located through transforming the space, to investigate how to build a three dimensional environment that helps recording city memory, and to propose a design alternative in which the subway station is to intervene in the fragmented city as a sophisticated architectural program. Key words: Heukseok subway station, Border area, Ecological Path, Public space
