Heatherwick Studio has won a competition to redesign the Coex Convention Centre in Seoul, focusing on transforming it from a generic glass structure into a vibrant, public-friendly space. The proposal features a modular facade with stacked boxes, facilitating dynamic spaces for various activities and enhancing community engagement. Aiming for greater integration with its surroundings, the redesign includes public areas on the ground floor and connects better with an adjacent park. Sustainability is prioritized throughout the redevelopment, ensuring the venue remains relevant even without major events.
Heatherwick Studio's winning design transforms the Coex Convention Centre into a dynamic public space, creating flexible environments that emphasise engagement and reflect Seoul's evolving identity.
The proposed redesign steers away from the existing fortress aesthetic, favoring an open structure that encourages discovery, interaction, and community engagement beyond mere events.
