Chungnam Provincial Government Complex

H Associates envisioned a new prototype of government complex as ‘Public Park’ at the Korea national competition of the architectural design of the new Chungnam Provincial Government Complex. Chungnam, one of 9 provinces in Korea, is planning to reinvent its institutional image and functions by relocating its provincial Capital City and building a new headquarters for the government in a new city.

For Chungnam, the nation’s heartland province with abundant natural resources, H sought affirmative measures to reconcile the building and natural ground, and used this to marry government functions and the public need.

Traditional inanimate and inaccessible government buildings were replaced with an inspirational and inviting civic park where the boundary between architecture and landscape is diffused.

The existing topography at the site, minimally disturbed for grading, became a specific directive for building placements and massing geometry. Green axes were diversified to evolve buildings into organic shapes and to recognize view corridors offered by the natural scenery surrounding the site. Extensive green measures were incorporated throughout the project in selecting building technology, structural and finish materials, and maintenance and operational programs for post occupancy.

The project received a 2010 AIA New York Design Merit Award in the ‘Un-built Work’ category.
