Succesful Examples
Across the world, these lost areas have been reimagined in creative ways, turning once neglected sites into thriving public spaces, parks, cultural hubs, and more. Below are a few examples of locations showcasing successful applications that display the versatility of these environments.
Eungbong Terrace in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, is a vibrant public space developed under the Eungbong Bridge. Designed by YZA Architects, the space is divided into smaller "pocket" areas where residents can gather, reflecting post-COVID-19 needs for social distancing. A wave-like reflective roof sculpture ties the terrace together, channeling natural light during the day and transforming into an illuminated spectacle at night, creating a welcoming and visually stunning landmark.
