[Winner] K-water Innovation Center
Competition 178 Aug. 13, 2025
In this proposal, we create a visually open space from the entrance to the River Samseong, harmonizing with the surroundings through a layout that maximizes riverfront and mountain views. The two distinct facilities symbolically express technology and vision through their massing and façades. The connecting podium supports daily functions while enabling rapid response in national emergencies, and its lobby reveals the ultrapure water production facility, naturally showcasing K-water's expertise and identity. AI and robotics are applied throughout to realize a smart operating environment. A landscape plan utilizing rainwater circulation shapes the site's open boundaries, allowing the institution's identity to be experienced from outside. This design delivers a sustainable Innovation Center embodying K-water's forward-looking vision and spatial symbolism.
