| Banpo District Park - Design Competition Seoul, South Korea |
Fountain
Source was invited to participate in developing a conceptual water
display for the Hangang Park, Banpo District Park and Fountain Establishment
Project for the City of Seoul, South Korea. The competition called
for transforming the existing bridge that crosses the Han River and
links the Hangang and Banpo parks. |
Our approach was to transform the bridge into
an iconic landmark that set a new precedence for water design while
keeping within distinct design criteria that included keeping the bridge
open to vehicular traffic and mitigating the environmental effects
of wind and temperature. |
The design we developed, we believe, produced
the largest water display yet envisioned. The design utilized 792 meters
(2,600 feet) of the bridge and would be capable of pumping 590 m3/min
(156,000 gpm) of water continuously. The design is comprised of four
separate displays that would be capable of operating under various
integrated sequences or individually, giving the design a myriad of
active, semi-active and passive displays. |
