'gwang gyo power centre'

MVRDV architects have won the award to design the city centre of gwang gyo, located approximately
35km south of seoul, south korea. the concept design consists of a series of overgrown hill shaped buildings
with great programmatic diversity, aiming for high urban density and encouragement of further developments
around the ‘power centre’, one of the envisioned two centre’s of the future new town. the gwanggyo power centre
will consist of housing, offices, a mix of cultural, leisure and educational facilities as well as parking. the hill
shaped structure is constructed with a series of rings that facilitate outdoor life. each floor will consist of terraces
with a floor to floor circulation system in which water will be stored and used to irrigate plants. the roofs of these
hills and the terraces are planted with box hedges creating a strong, recognizable, cohesive park.

in each tower a number of voids connect to the atrium providing for light and ventilation and creating semi-public
spaces. the design aims to create a landscape on that enlarges green qualities and that links the surrounding parks
by turning the site into a park. the entire new town will be a self sufficient city of 77,000 inhabitants and is expected
to be completed by 2011.

MVRDV architects designed 'westerdok', an apartment building in amsterdam.
the building which has just been completed has a total surface of 6000 m2
contains 46 apartments and a day-care centre. each apartment has a balcony
of varying depths which stretch as bands along the entire facade, offering
varied outside spaces and views over the western docklands of amsterdam.
the floor-to-ceiling glass façade can be fully opened and contrasts with
the other buildings within the so called ‘VOC Cour’ port redevelopment that
are mainly made of brick. the urban plan is a closed city block with buildings
of differing heights surrounding a central court.
