Background
Busan is a beautiful city bordered by the South Sea and the East Sea, with high and diverse mountains and delta plains created by the Nakdong River. This natural beauty and people's lives harmoniously coexist, creating the scenery of Busan.
Meanwhile, the opening of the Gyeongbu Line in 1905 along with the process of industrialization became an important catalyst for the development of Busan and the Republic of Korea.
However, the railroad, which transported people and goods for 115 years now, has resulted in severe urban disconnection and regional imbalance in Busan.
In particular, in Sasang-gu, the Gyeongbu Line runs through the center of the region. As a result, geographical and landscape disconnection between east and west regions through railroads caused the following problems.
1.Problems through geographic severance
-Problem of movement between two regions (inconvenient)
-Absence of coexistence through severance between two regions: a disconnected landscape
2.Problems causing/through/with the landscape disconnection
- Lack of open space for local and people to gather
- Absence of facilities directly connected to Sasang Station
- Lack of green space such as parks and gardens
The various and interdependent problems presented above seek to find a solution through the restoration of the landscape through a landscape and spatiotemporal approach.
Design Approach and Suggestion
1. Preservation of existing railways: traces of time and memory
Existing railroads (train tracks) are a thing of the past. By preserving it as a device that can connect time and memory, we want to overlay new time and space on it.
2. Connection of two disconnected areas: creation of new roads and visual pathways
By planning various access roads and connecting roads connecting the two disconnected areas, the inconvenience of residents is resolved, and the two areas can meet and connect with each other.
3. New time: present and future time stacked on the past
On top of the past time of railroads and trains, we build a new time that is static and slower than the past, but has speed and time for people and the next generation.
The low-height shipping wall is arranged on the railroad in various ways to establish a new relationship with the two regions and people that have been cut off from the existing railroad tracks.
4. New space: connecting space, new landscape
Walls of different heights, windows with different proportions in them, and roofs of various shapes above them. Because this space is made linear, the landscape slowly changes according to the position of the person, connects the two regions, and gradually experiences a new landscape.
5. The shape of the line: the connection of time and space
If the previous line (railroad) was the boundary between severance and division, the newly proposed shape of the line connects land and region (spatially), unites them, and coexists harmoniously.
Time and space, disconnected without context, are restored through the shape of a new line.
6. New Scenery
The railroad, the time of the past, will become a garden made up of various plantings and trees, and it will become a landscape that is constantly changing with time in the future. The shape of the line passes between them, and as they meet, they create light and shadow, and as people gather and experience, they gradually create a new “Busan landscape”.
“Busan Scenery” is a spatial and temporal recovery that started at Sasang Station, and it will become a new vitality of Busan beyond thought.
