Gwanggyo: Town Of The Rings

Surrounded by a picturesque lake and forested hills, Korea is set to create a sustainable township which will be a self sufficient city of 77,000 inhabitants, to be located about 22 miles (35 kilometers) south of Seoul, South Korea. Called Gwanggyo, all elements of the new town will be designed as rings so that each part of the program has a terrace for outdoor life.
Expected to be completed by 2011, and designed by Dutch architects MVRDV, the architectural design consists of a series of overgrown hill shaped buildings to target high urban density and further developments around the Gwanggyo Power Center, one of the two envisioned centers of the future new town.

The Korean township promotes a healthy living space with plantations around the terraces with a floor to floor circulation system that stores water and irrigates the plants. The roofs and terraces are planted with box hedges creating a vertical park which will improve the climate and ventilation, reduce energy and water usage.
triums within each tower create lobbies for housing and offices, retail plazas for the shopping centre, halls for the museum, leisure areas and education spaces.
The shifting of the floors creates hollow cores that form the large atriums. In each tower a series of ‘voids’ connect to the atrium to provide light and ventilation, creating semi-public spaces.
The atriums are connected on the lower floors through a string of public spaces on various levels, linking the towers and serving the outdoor facilities of the culture, retail, and leisure program.

I hope the economic downturn doesn't delay the project or worse, kill it. There are green housing developments going on elsewhere but this looks most ambitious and needless to say, organic.

A 21st Century Contemporary Art Gallery in Hong Kong....

In the 21st century, a new genre of art has developed and its rapid growth has been unprecedented. The way people view contemporary art nowadays has created a new and formidable player in the Art market and even national museums have had to sit up and pay attention to this burdgeoning phenomenon. The line between fine-art and street-art/graffiti is now blurred, with its acceptance and recognition by the art establishment also bringing with it criticism and dismissal.
Adapta is a satellite gallery that attempts to bridge the gap between the understanding of the European and Asian art markets, creating a dialogue which, until now, has been relatively unobserved. We believe that the talent-pool that “Urban Art” offers is extraordinary and hand-picking each artist specifically for each show will demonstrate, educate and provide a wealth of inspiration for the youth of today.
Our first project will be held in November 2008, in Hong Kong. We have curated an exhibition of 5 UK-based artists, including Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet. Although the variety of work can be considered eclectic, it is precisely this reason why we chose them in the first place. From the famous street-artist D*Face’s two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of Vesna Parchet’s styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
With two shows planned per year, Adapta will continue to be a cross-cultural pioneer and strive to bring the most sought-after and progressive artists to Hong Kong’s doorstep.
