This proposal for the Yongjia Public Center competition was submitted by Kang Chul-Hee of Idea Image Institute of Architects. The cultural facility will be located in the landmark geographic and social center of the city plan of Yongjia, China. The design is approached at an urban scale to provide a symbolic gateway between the past and present development of the city.

Designed by Kang Chul-Hee and Idea Image Institute of Architects, the Health & Sports Education Center attracts local residents’ participation and heightens its value as a community sports center. Located on the eastern part of Kang-won University’s Choon-Chun Campus, it is somewhat secluded from its surroundings. So in order to adapt to the steep landscapem, the center’s swimming pool and education facility are designed with multi-level entrances, emphasizing a diverse entryway and an adventurous space. More images and architects’ description after the break.
