架构师提供的文本描述。城市更新是城市更新的要求，城市更新是对废弃和污染环境的更新。当前的城市更新理念被很好地作为新城发展的战略。它通过为已经衰败的城市提供新的规划和实体建筑环境，从而创造城市环境、工业、经济和文化的恢复和复兴的意义。而不是简单的建筑审美控制，而是要求循环系统的新组合，从而引发新的环境转变。提高城市居民生活质量，是在文化设施和社区治理理念的指导下发展起来的。

Text description provided by the architects. The city is required the concept of urban regeneration which renews the abandoned and polluted environment. The current concept of urban regeneration is well used as the strategies of new town development. It has the meaning of creating rehabilitation and revival of urban environment, industry, economy, and the culture by providing new programs and physical architectural environments to the decaying existing cities.

Seongdong Cultural & Welfare Center is a crucial issue because it is not a simple concept of creating government office. It provides the governance concept of cultural & welfare center. The welfare center is provided in the center of the poorest factory district in Seongsudong, and this cultural & welfare center functions as the headquarters which changes the city. If the function of government office is mainly administration, the architecture of governance concept is like the seed of role which changes the city and society.

Seongdong Cultural & Welfare Center also performs as the role of rearrangement and helps the inhabitants’ life in the factory district. It was interesting premise that the city and society can be changed through architecture. And Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, Kunsthaus Graz, Tate Modern in London, Laban Centre, and Will Alsop’s Peckham Library are the examples. It has been strewn like the seeds in the slum area and functions as a successful architectural device which changes the neighboring society.

Architecture as a public plaza

(公共空间为公众广场)

(Public Space as Public Plaza)

该体系结构脱离了政府办公室的概念，创造了排他性和距离。文化

The architecture, breaking away from the concept of government office which creates exclusiveness and distances, is suggested. A Cultural & Welfare Center is suggested as open three-dimensional plaza by planning different elements, interests, and impressive programs which contain culture. It becomes an open architectural place which accommodates changing culture and welfare at the same time. It became the citizenry’s favorite place, and it is also the main place for welfare and its benefit. And it is the open public architecture. A pivot of civil activity, cultural, and informative events, is suggested.
