[WATER] In the city, water that you can touch and play with is very rare. In the center of Seoul, Cheonggyecheon is such a charming water space. Is it possible to create a larger-scale water space that can swim in the center of Seoul where land is expensive? The proposal SKY-MIRROR gives the answer: on the east side of the Hanyang Bridge, with the help of Nodeul Island, a huge triangle-shaped aerial beach swimming pool is created over the Han River.
[MEGASTRUCTURE] The equilateral triangular beach swimming pool with a side length of 1,000m and an area of 442,800m2 is supported by bridge structures. Recreational spaces such as restaurants, cafes, hotels, etc. are set in the 5m-high structural layer, while the water from the Han River is treated and supplied to the beach swimming pool at the top. It is conceivable that tens of thousands of people are playing in this sky swimming pool. Of course, this is also a pedestrian bridge connecting from Dongbu ichon-dong to Nodeul Island to Yongyang Peak.
[NATURE] The ancient city of Seoul is located between the mountains and rivers, thus forming a north-south axis, creating an overall spatial pattern that integrates the city and nature. The proposal SKY-MIRROR is located on the west side of the intersection of the axis and the Han River. The connection between the city and nature, the communication between the sky and the earth, and the combination of man and nature are greatly strengthened. At sunset, SKY-MIRROR creates a wonderful place for people to fully enjoy nature.
