LH, 'Suwon Dangsu 2 District' Urban Architecture Integrated Design Competition

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 30th that it will promote an "International Master Plan Design Competition for Integrated Urban Architecture" targeting the Suwon Dangsudong 2 District in Gyeonggi Province.

The integrated urban architecture plan is a method of establishing a three-dimensional master plan encompassing urban, architectural, and facilities from the initial planning stage, and then based on this, formulating urban planning and architectural plans.

Last October, LH, together with the National Architecture Policy Committee and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, established the "Integrated Urban Architecture Plan Common Guidelines," which were first applied in the master plan competitions for the Gwacheon Gwacheon District and Ansan Singil 2 District, selecting winning entries.

This competition aims to create a "street-space-centered shared city," proposing as the basic design directions a city where street space is the center of life, a shared city of mixed-use and social integration, a pleasant city that respects and enjoys nature, and a convenient and safe city responding to new technologies.

Additionally, to create a smart zero-energy city integrating energy-saving and eco-friendly latest technologies and an ecological residential village through ecological protection system planning, plans from domestic and international experts will be accepted through an international competition.

Starting with the announcement on the 30th, an on-site briefing session will be held on January 7 next year (scheduled online), with participant registration until the 26th, followed by submission and evaluation of proposals by March 30, and the winner will be announced on April 7.

The winner will be granted the priority negotiation right for the approximately 7.2 billion KRW "Suwon Dangsudong 2 District Master Plan and Pilot Project District (about 1,500 households) design service."

Kwon Hyuk-rye, Head of LH Public Housing Headquarters, said, "Through this competition, we expect a high-level eco-friendly and zero-energy specialized plan reflecting regional characteristics while faithfully adhering to the basic direction of the integrated urban architecture plan, which is a communication and convergence-centered shared city concept." He added, "In the future, we will continue to implement optimal urban spaces by applying three-dimensional master plans to new public housing districts."
