The Grand Prize-winning work, ‘Gaya, Gaon’ by students Kim Taejung and Jang Soyoung, proposed an urban forest space where Gaya history and Gimhae coexist, based on the citizen charter of the happy city Gimhae.

This work received high praise from the judges for presenting a feasible maintenance plan based on a deep understanding of the region with excellent design, linking tourism functions, and designing spaces for community and environmental conservation, which is expected to revitalize the local economy and enhance the value of Slow City Gimhae.

Students Park Jinseo, Lim Yumin, and Lee Suyeon won the Silver Prize with their work titled ‘Art Road, Companionship,’ and students Han Suji, Lim Junseop, and Jo Seunghui received the Encouragement Prize for ‘Gimhae Line - Gaya Bound.’
