SITE ANALYSIS
The Hongdea Playground is close to plaza rather than park. That’s because people can't recognize the nature of the site despite a variety of activities.
The east of the site is the place where you can experience nature more than any place in the Hongdea Playground, but it’s not connected with park.
CONCEPT
I suggest people can recognize nature that surrounds them through a new public restroom.
Disconnected nature
Connecting space with path
Maximizing experiences of nature
USER MOVEMENT
In the process of using (the) 'Nature O', you could feel nature coming inside. After you'd leave there, you could get to appreciate the nature of The Hongdea Playground.
1. Entrance
Unlike a typical toilet, the entrance and exit are separated to distinguish the role of the entrance and exit. The entrance made of lamps resolves the difference in height between the east side of Hongdae playground, which will be the exit, and the park land used by existing people, and acts as a transition space.
2. Physiological solution space
Urine, and feces as well as handicapped toilets. The space given by the circular plane loses directionality and conceals the space, making it impossible to know what will happen later. Thereby enabling a dramatic experience in the next space.
It is not only a place to solve physiological needs, but also a place where you can feel the natural feeling on the ceiling. A dynamic wave is created on the ceiling when the toilet on the toilet is lifted up and the glass and mirror are used to lower the water. The parabolic shape of the mirror that makes the light into the ceiling makes the external light as much as possible. Not only passers-by, but also those sitting on the toilet can see the waves of light through the gap above the door.
3. nature O
When you go to wash basin to wash your hands, you face nature O space. A round hole in the ceiling, natural o, brings light into everyday life, and rain, fallen leaves, and snow come in according to the weather and season, creating various moods. Through this, you will realize that there is nature outside.
Nature O is perfect circle by not showing roof thickness. Thus, the appearance of nature comes in a more dramatic scene. Especially in the rainy weather, nature O gives a visual and aesthetic aesthetic effect. All the rain on the roof comes together in nature O, giving the impression that it is like a waterfall, making a sound as it bumps into the gravel on the floor. The sound is due to the circular wall.
4. Nature of Hongdae Playground
When you come out Nature O, you will enjoy the nature of Hongdae playground. The existing Danes become places for people to sit and become shelters. People can look back at the excessive Hongdae playground in their daily life and enjoy it properly.
