39.3 Billion Seongnam 'e-Sports Dedicated Stadium' Design Competition

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is launching a design competition for the construction of an 'e-sports dedicated stadium' in the Pangyo area.

On this day, Seongnam City announced the details of the 'Architectural Design Competition for the Construction of an e-Sports Dedicated Stadium' on its official website.

The e-sports dedicated stadium project will involve a total budget of 39.3 billion KRW, including 10 billion KRW in provincial funds secured through a Gyeonggi Province public project selection last July.

The stadium will be built on a 6,959㎡ site at Hwansang Children's Park in Sampyeong-dong, Bundang-gu, within Pangyo 1 Techno Valley, with a total building area of 8,500㎡, and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2023.

It will consist of a main stadium with 400 seats and an auxiliary stadium with 50 seats, along with PC bangs and studios.

The design direction includes creating diverse cultural spaces beyond e-sports competitions, securing ample green spaces for citizens, ensuring independent internal and external spaces and circulation for players, and designing the exterior of the e-sports dedicated stadium to reflect identity and symbolism.

The city will receive design drawings and boards by March 8 next year, and a panel of nine judges?seven architectural experts and two e-sports experts?will evaluate the submissions and announce the winner on March 31 next year.

The winner of the design competition will receive a service fee of 1.3 billion KRW and priority negotiation rights for basic and detailed design contracts.

Jeon Dong-eok, Seongnam City's Asia Silicon Valley Officer, stated, "We will strive to select an innovative and creative design work."
