A memorial of symbolic meaning
Samcheok city is in the administrative district of Gangwon Providence and it is a central area of tourism for the East coast of Korea. Historically, Yisabu, a general/administrator of Silla (one of the nations of ‘Three Kingdoms Period’ in the Korean Peninsula), launched in 512 A.D. his voyage to Usanguk (an island nation in East Coast of Korean Peninsula, now Ulleungdo and Dokdo).
As a result, Samcheok city has established a project to celebrate Yisabu as a representative figure of Samcheok city. Moreover, it has been promoting various projects to promote historical and cultural significance of incorporating Usanguk.
As part of this initiative, it has been suggested that information related to Yisabu should be conveyed through the creative and specialized space so that people can experience its symbolic meaning.
The park was to commemorate General Yisabu who launched his voyage to Usanguk in 512 A.D.
This was international competition we entered to design memorial park in Samcheock city. The park was to commemorate General Yisabu who launched in 512 A.D. his voyage to Usanguk. Which has now become important as part of the evidence showing that Dokdo is the territory of the Republic of Korea. Broad Based Design proposed a series of buildings capturing significant moments in the travels of general Yisabu creating moments in place. The concept also integrated a park space that can be enjoyed by the public when visiting.
