Jamsil Urban Regeneration of Jamsil Sports Complex

Jamsil Urban Regeneration of Jamsil Sports Complex

Seoul’s Jamsil Sports Complex hosted two major national events—the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympic Games—and stands as a symbolic site that embodies the public’s aspirations and memories of the Olympics. Since the Olympics, this site has been losing its inherent sense of place and vitality due to a massive main stadium that can only be used at specific times and for specific purposes, aging concrete decks, outdoor spaces primarily used as parking lots, and a fragmented pedestrian environment. We took the restoration of lost memories as the starting point for this plan, grounded in respect for the site’s original identity and sense of place.
