This winning landscape design was presented to a national design competition for the master plan of new Digital Library on the existing National Library of Korea. The site is located at San 60-1, Banpo-Bong, Seocho-Gu, Seoul and has an area of 142,233㎡. The judging criteria for landscape design set by the client could be articulated as follows: an environment friendly design and a landscape design harmonizing existing facilities with new digital library. In this design, we first tried to respect its existing setting and context, a library in a city park environment, Also the design required an interpretation of the meaning of 'digital library' and its relationship with 'old' library.
