Changdong Church Education Hall

An education hall for a church, permitted as an educational-research facility.

Using the site's level difference, a self-park underground garage was planned, and the upper slab at the entrance was raised to shorten the parking ramp and secure more usable space. The rear open space was shaped into an outdoor area; vehicles enter from the road and pedestrian flows are guided to the rear, separating vehicle and pedestrian circulation by the user groups of an educational facility.

Using the mass shaped with many recesses due to the irregular site, we sought to keep simplicity while securing sculptural quality through the contrasting texture and color of clay brick and granite. Freed from the formal constraint of securing daylight through front windows, a wall was set to design the building's symbolic image.

With a volume and form suited to its surroundings, it is hoped to contribute to forming the local community while giving passersby a fresh visual experience and impression.
