What kind of public space can emerge from the five ruined oil tanks?
Mapo Energy Pavilions
The Mapo Energy Pavilion project is about creating a public space by renovating the five ruined oil tanks in the middle of Maebong Mountain. The empty oil tanks symbolize how the unlimited use of fossil fuel has threatened the environment and the people over the last centuries. It is a place that will allow us not only to recognize the negative effects we have had on nature but also to reflect and learn about eco-friendly living. The five empty tanks will be renovated with the theme of five sustainable energy sources: wind, biomass, water, earth, and sun.

Water Pavilion
Water Pavilion collects rainwater to create a water fountain surrounded by a circular seating area.
Earth Pavilion
Earth Pavilion frames exposed rock from the ground which becomes a rock garden in the courtyard.
Sun Pavilion
Sun Pavilion brings daylight into the space directly through the roof opening and the reflective ceiling surface reinforces the presence of the daylighting in the pavilion.
