Innovative Design Selected for Seoseoul Art Museum

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Onyu] Seoul's first public art museum in the southwestern area, 'Seoseoul Art Museum,' will be built based on the innovative design of a world-renowned architect.

On the 25th, Seoul City announced that it will prepare the design plan for the Seoseoul Art Museum to be built in Geumcheon-gu through an international invited design competition involving numerous prominent domestic and international architects. Five selected teams (2 overseas teams, 3 domestic teams) will participate after review by the competition operation committee.

Seoul City will hold the final judging for the winning design on the 26th. Considering the COVID-19 situation, the judging will be conducted via a non-face-to-face video conference. The entire judging process will be broadcast live from 1 PM on the YouTube channel ‘Urban Space Improvement Team’.

The judging panel consists of five expert judges. In particular, considering the characteristic of a ‘museum within a park,’ Professor Niall Kirkwood, a landscape architecture professor at Harvard GSD, has been invited to focus on the landscape architecture aspect of the evaluation.

The final winning design will be announced on the 30th, and the winning team will be granted priority negotiation rights for the basic and detailed design contract.
