Photographs: Won Yang Kim site plan Our project, the Engineering College, is located between the Main Building and the New Technology Center. The Main Building was constructed thirty years ago while the New Technology Center is newly built, making a historical contrast between the two. Before the construction of the Engineering College, the site had been unused and not noticed. However, it is situated in the campus center and surrounded by nature, historical buildings and major pathways. During the site visit, we envisioned the potential value of the place. © Won Yang Kim Our intention was to make the project site as a campus core: a center space for academic and professional exchange. To this end, thin and linear masses are chosen for the new Engineering College building bridging the main building and the New Technology center. Forming a dynamic outdoor space, transparent and solid masses are stacked crossing each other. Each mass contains the required building programs. Korea Polytechnics VI – Engineering College in Gumi Campus is now working as the heart of the campus.
