Korean War Memorial Park for Civil Victims

The Memorial Park is designed to commemorate the victims of the Korean civil war, through showcasing their social and political history, explicitly demonstrating the repercussions of the three-year conflict to the public. The main concept is to provide the visitors with an experience that emphasizes the Korean war from two different perspectives; the first one demonstrates the tragedy of the Koreans who lost their lives during this dispute and the second one demonstrates the experience of those who made it through the war and continued their lives in the commemoration of the lost victims. Conceptually, the Memorial Park’s site is divided horizontally into two sections, representing commemoration of victims on the upper sector and survivors on the lower sector. Functioanlly, It begins from the educational zone at the west end and extends to the historical and spiritual zones. Visitors will be able to experience the intent of each zone through architectural and landscape design, providing them with insights into the Korean civil war.
