We have seriouslt concerned about the meaning of Korea wave architecture as well as individual independence of complex facilities of Welfare Center oriented to disadvantaged group of society. Then, we proposed ‘Emptying’, oure traditional intrinsic spirit, as its solution key. We composed the corridor by emptying the center of the site, and placed each facility in the form of traditional house division(Chaenanum) to connect each space with continuous flow. Later, we made external form mingled like two gambrel roots.

The core of floor plan consists in the corridor with wind chimes and Maru. Along the corridor with wind chimes, each facility is placed in the form of tradiutional house division(Chaenanum) and the path is open to the exterior while there are main hall Maru wooden floors of traditional architecture in several places allowing communication between nature and people, between a person with another.

Our contry’s traditional architecture emphasizes more proprieties and Confucian concept based on ‘Heaven-Earth-Human’ and ‘The sky is round, and the ground is square’ then China and Japan. Due to this influence, the boundary with the sky was expressed in curves resembling universe and nature. We interpreted this catenary curve to be represented at eye level of people. Moreover, the superposition of tiled roof resembling that of the foot of mountain was expressed by reiteration of mass. We created deepeaves of traditional architecture and a recognizable entrance in harmony with the space naturally emptied.

The architecture shape included the waves of Geum River, foot of Bihaksan Mountain and curved context of pedestrian overpass. According to five cardinal colors(blue, white, red, black, yellow), the direction of southwestern park considered white color like moonlight, the northern road considered the value of landscape and symbolism of Sejong City, and was exptressed in the color of roof tile by placing the gymnasium with bratticing of Korea alphabet.
