| Abstract |
After the Magok Waterfront Plan was annulled, discussions led to the decision to develop Magok Central Park as a botanical garden. It was proposed that the botanical garden and park be combined to create a new type of city park. The geographical characteristics and historical implications of Magok and the location’s urban spatial characteristics were developed into a basic philosophy and a composition principle for a park design and then shaped into a spatial plan. The concept divides the space into four zones, including a botanical garden, a lake park, an open forest park, and an ecological succession area, which are given shape through a detailed spatial plan. The botanical garden, in particular, as a core space that occupies 128,000㎡, is expected to become a new attraction. A lake and a lawn in the city park will become a leisure area where citizens can relax. Moreover, Magok Central Park will be built based on the concept of internal and external growth, and it will grow over 100 years. It was identified that this comprehensive plan is closely related to six strategies for modern park design as delineated in existing studies. |
