THE QUESTION
"How to transform the Olympic Plaza site into a Peace-themed Landmark and enhancing sustainable regional development?"
Do you remember the Opening Ceremony of 2018 Winter Olympic Games where 200+ delegates of the two Koreas marched together under the Korean Unification Flag? The event was marked as a turning point momentum for peace and reconciliation of the Korean Peninsula amidst the high tension of nuclear threat. (*Reference: koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180225000196)
After the 2018 Winter Olympics, City of PyeongChang is seeking its way to continue the legacy as an Olympic city of peace, and transform the Olympic Plaza Site into a sustainable, peace-themed landmark.
The site has returned to a blank canvas since the Olympic stadium was removed. PyeongChang is now seeking creative ways to transform this site into a global hub of peace that engages changemakers, social innovators and creative practitioners in the development of sustainable peace in the Korean peninsula and beyond.
