Design Competition:
International Competition for the (New) Agricultural ResourcesManagement Institute in Gyeongsangbukdo, S. Korea
The site consists of 5 circular layers alternating by voids and solids. The center of the site is occupied by the Seed Bank where the high-quality seeds are securely stored to supply the nearby farms.
The seed bank is constructed with thick wall finished by rammed local earth to obtain dual purpose, functionality and symbolic landmark. The electric tower crane is located in the center of the Seed Bank to maximize the operation efficiency and energy conservation. This will allow easy access to all the surrounding programs of Agricultural Resources Management Institute which surrounds the seed drying yard.
The circular structure, embracing the Seed Bank, is once again surrounded by the vast rice paddies and fields.
