架构师提供的文本描述。ChonGae运河修复项目是一项雄心勃勃的重建计划，它改变了韩国首尔的城市结构。这个设计是在一个国际比赛中获胜的项目，在这条七英里绿色走廊的开始，庆祝从城市开始的清洁地表和亚级径流的源头。主要的竞争要求是强调朝鲜和韩国未来的统一。该项目象征着这一政治努力，使用了朝鲜和韩国八个省中的每一个省捐赠的当地石头。这些独立的石头构成了城市广场的框架，以及径流被日照的八个源头点，代表了城市中心改造的统一努力。

Text description provided by the architects. The ChonGae Canal Restoration Project is an ambitious redevelopment initiative that transformed the urban fabric of Seoul, Korea. This design was the winning project in an international competition and celebrates the source point of cleansed surficial and sub grade runoff from the city at the start of this seven mile green corridor. The main competition requirement was to highlight the future reunification of North and South Korea. The project symbolizes this political effort through the use of donated local stone from each of the eight provinces of North and South Korea. The individual stones act to frame the urban plaza and the eight source points where runoff is daylighted and represents the unified effort in the transformation of this urban center.

ChonGae河修复项目位于这条7英里绿色走廊的重要发源地，该走廊始于城市的中心商业和商业区。他们的目标是修复这条高度污染和被覆盖的水道，拆除这座城市之间的近四英里高等级公路和高架公路基础设施。其结果是从这条以前的车辆通道建立了一个以行人为中心的区域，将人们带到历史悠久的崇吉河，同时减轻洪水和改善水质。

The ChonGae River Restoration Project is located at the important source point of this seven-mile green corridor that begins in the central business and commercial district of the city. The goal was to restore this highly polluted and covered water-way with the demolition of nearly four miles of at grade and elevated highway infrastructure that divided the city. The outcome is the creation of a pedestrian focused zone from this former vehicular access way that brings people to the historic ChonGae River while mitigating flooding and improving water quality.

这次国际设计竞赛的目的是在一个非常活跃的公共广场内创造南北韩未来统一的象征性代表。这项获奖提案通过使用当地材料和八个水源确定了八个省。区域石材采自八个区域，八个水源点和光纤光点突出了这一合作努力的统一和恢复。

The charge of this international design competition was to create a symbolic representation of the future reunification of North and South Korea within a highly active public plaza. This winning proposal defined the eight provinces through the use of local materials and eight sources of water. Regional stone quarried from each of the eight areas, eight source points of water and fiber-optic light highlight this collaborative effort of reunification and restoration.

设计的指导原则是从一个小时到一个小时、一个季节的水位，同时处理季风季节强烈风暴期间发生的灾难性洪水。独特的倾斜和阶梯石元素允许阅读不同级别的水，同时鼓励公众直接参与河流。这一地区的恢复是这条7英里长河流的重大重建努力的第一步，也是目前雄心勃勃的建筑重建项目的第一步。自2005年10月在主广场举行剪彩仪式以来，近1000万名游客和居民参观了这条河。

The design was guided by the water levels from hour to hour and season to season, while addressing the catastrophic flooding that occurs during intense storms in the Monsoon season. The unique sloped and stepped stone elements allow for a reading of the various levels of water while encouraging direct public engagement with the river. The restoration of this area is the first step in a major redevelopment effort of this seven-mile river and current ambitious architectural redevelopment projects that frame this natural drainage basin to the city. Since the ribbon cutting ceremony in October 2005 on the main plaza, nearly 10 million visitors and residents have visited the river.

除了环境恢复工作外，这一城市开放空间已成为城市的中心聚集地，迫切需要更多的公共景观。二级水质水平使家庭能够与这条历史悠久的河流重新接触。在传统的新年节庆、政治集会、时装秀和摇滚音乐会等专门活动中，广场和水源区都会以创造性的方式重新定义。最近，游客在运河中抛出的硬币从盆地中被收集起来，数千美元被捐赠给当地的慈善机构。

In addition to the environmental restoration effort, this urban open space has become a central gathering place for the city which is in dire need of more public landscapes. The Class II water quality level has allowed for families to come and reengage with this historical river. During specialized events such as the traditional New Year’s festivals, political rallies, fashion shows and rock concerts both the plaza and the Water Source area get redefined in inventive ways. Recently, coins that were tossed in the canal by visitors were collected from the basin and thousands of dollars were donated to local charities.
