In this context, Junglim Architecture developed a master plan between 2002 and 2003, including mixed-use commercial facilities such as a large shopping mall, cinema, banquet hall, restaurant, sauna, indoor swimming pool, and fitness center in the stadium\u2019s lower floors \u2014 creating a public space beyond just sports viewing.&nbsp;Connecting to&nbsp;the ecological park planned along the Han River also plays a notable role in the overall site strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Press<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.c3ka.com\/seoul-worldcup-stadium-by-junglim\/\" target=\"_blank\">[C3] Gable roof and octagonal finial<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auric.or.kr\/User\/Rdoc\/DocCmag.aspx?returnVal=CMAG&amp;dn=65690\" target=\"_blank\">[Monthly Architecture Culture] Seoul World Cup Stadium (December 2001)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auric.or.kr\/User\/Rdoc\/DocCmag.aspx?returnVal=CMAG&amp;dn=116152\" target=\"_blank\">[Monthly Architecture Culture] Project Feature: Samsung Engineering Consortium (November 1998)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seoul World Cup Stadium, with a total seating capacity of 62,000, exemplifies Junglim Architecture\u2019s long-standing commitment to blending tradition with modernity, synergized with its extensive experience in mixed-use commercial facilities.
