Purpose
Urban regeneration project for Sewoon Arcade’s rooftop aims to activate the arcade in the industrial
way, by opening and sharing the unused common space as a public space.
While the previous redevelopment plans for Sewoon Arcade were general plans doing constructions on
a large scale, this regeneration plan for Sewoon Arcade’s rooftop focuses on settling its role as a citizen’s
common place, by giving special value to merchants, and residents of it and connecting citizens and
activists.
For the sustainable value production, running programs and activities is very important as well as creating
a space. So, we planned a pre-production for various programs and activities which will be run in the
space, and recruited agents among the social economy enterprises.
Research Progress Direction
Planning various program contents which reflect the main concept and feature based on the developing
map of a rooftop park of Sewoon Arcade.

Collecting opinions and developing citizen participation programs by holding a meeting with all the parties
concerned.
Setting up a budget and financial plan according to the project plans.
Giving feasibility and convenience of operation by delivering requirements to be reflected at the level of
designing.
