‘Majang+tong’ is the winning project of the ‘Majang-Cheonggye idea competition’, which is organised by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Majang District is known as the slaughter area for meat supply in Seoul. Our proposed vision for Majang-Cheonggye is to create ‘space for local life with the local industry and economy’. Connected for pedestrians comfort, local industry, culture and nature are planned along the Cheonggye river. The Gyeongui railway is transformed into an urban green axis and provides an open space for Majang district. We connected the context of the district with other projects in the surrounding area supported by the urban new-deal program, which is a project lead by the government geared towards helping revitalise and restructure decaying areas within the cities. We hope to combine them for sustainable development of Majang District.
