Cities around the world, Korean city Seoul_students living there

The world's population continues to grow around cities. In addition, the issue of urbanization is common around the world. This phenomenon causes an imbalance between the city and the suburbs.

Students account for a large portion of the migrated population. According to the National Statistical Office, the population of Seoul between 2001 and 2010, and all age groups except those in their 20s moved to the outskirts of the city, but the population in their 20s continued to flow. In Korea, Seoul is characterized by a variety of infrastructures and a dense area of many universities, which can be seen as the reason why the inflow of people in their 20s continues to increase. However, housing prices in Seoul are a burden to students. For these reasons, we propose a flexible residential space for students in a city called Seoul of Korea.

Area of opportunity

We have chosen three types of land that can be easily found in downtown Seoul.

A. Urban Personalization Type : 16, Nangye-ro 28 gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul

B. Culture-Shared Type : 87, Jeungsan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul

C. Park Enjoyable Type : 467, Maponaru-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Type A is an Urban Personalization Type, located between buildings. Type B is Culture-Shared Type a site where cultural activities, events, and exchanges take place in the city center. Finally, Type C is a Park Enjoyable Type, which is a site in a downtown park, and selected a park along the Han River that crosses Seoul.

Each site is basically convenient for transportation, and several universities are located nearby.

Parking lot and Container

All three sites we chose are sites with public parking lots operated by Seoul Metropolitan Government. We focused on modules that are characteristic of the most prominent containers. The dimensions of the module-based containers show similarity to paring lot, So we chose a paring lot as a space where containers can be easily applied to the land. In addition, state-owned public parking lots were selected to enhance the feasibility.

As the space of these modules is placed in the space of the existing module, the possibility of future expansion of the space increases, Not only in downtown Seoul, but many countries will have no difficulty in applying because parking lots are modular. These features allow students who are more likely to move to residential areas to be convenient and various options.

Modularization of Containers, Clustering of Modules

① Formation of basic modules using containers

The inside of the container becomes a living space, connecting the outside to form a module. The outside connection minimizes the waste of space. Four containers mesh together to form one neutral.

② How modules combinations between_formation of shared space

The proper coupling of the two modules increases the efficiency of the interior space. The large space created by bonding is used as a natural community space between users.

③ Vertical Extension_Beyond the horizontal extension

Extend module to top as well as horizontal extension. Vertical joints are used as cores. In conclusion, the module forms a lin that can extend both vertically and horizontally.

④ Expand a module, become a cluster_in the land, within the city

This combination of modules can be made from the form of a single module to the form of an extended cluster depending on the situation on the earth. The combination of these modules connects to the paring lot module and to the city by applying it to the parking lot spread throughout the city. In conclusion, the cluster extends throughout the city.

Type A.

There are many single-person units, and they are formed to enable efficient living inside the unit. In addition, a one-person unit will be given a personal work space by providing a personal home office.

Type B.

It forms a cultural shared space by expanding the interior space as much as possible, and at the same time, it separates the core from the residential space and the internal shared space.

Type C.

It will maximize the external space inside the building to extend the park and extend the external activity space.

CLUSTAINER : Cluster + Container

Containers themselves have durability and spatiality, but are mostly used for the transportation of cargo, and are subsequently a nuisance to waste. Parking lots are essential spaces in the city, but they are spaces for cars and have low utilization. Such neglected or abandoned containers are reborn as spaces for people, combined with parking lots used as spaces for cars, not people.

We propose spaces for students' housing by connecting these parking lots with various features of the city. Containers move into the city, combine with parking lots, form clusters and combine with cities.
