架构师提供的文本描述。我被要求在老汉考克伊尔博建筑的工地上建造一座新建筑，最初是由著名的韩国建筑师金善根在1968年设计的。该地区最近被拆除，作为城市更新发展项目的一部分。该网站是众所周知的公众，因为紧邻京博宫和因萨洞，这两个地标的汉城。在这种历史背景下，我个人认为，摧毁60年代和70年代建造的老旧的尖端建筑并予以替换是不适当的。然而，鉴于涉及政府市区重建项目的必然情况，我别无选择，只好接受这种情况，于是决定根据该地段的历史和城市背景进行设计。

Text description provided by the architects. I was approached to construct a new building at the site of the old Hankook Ilbo building originally designed by the renowned Korean architect Kim Swoo-geun in 1968. The area had recently been demolished as part of an urban renewal development project. The site is well-known to the public due to the close proximity to Gyeongbok Palace and Insa-dong , both landmarks of Seoul. Given this historical context, I personally believe it is inappropriate to destroy older sophisticated buildings built in the 1960s and 1970s and replace them. However, given the inevitable situation involving the government’s urban redevelopment project, I had no choice but to accept the situation, then decided to design in consideration of the historical and urban context of the site.

具体的建筑造型是根据独特的地理特征而做出的。该遗址由几个尖锐的角度组成，在其图形内，诱导水平和垂直动力学之间的相互作用，例如水向不同方向流动。这让人想起了一棵桦树树干，它经历了一段时间以来的严重困难。

The specific architectural shape was made in response to the distinctive geographical features. The site consists of several acute angles, and within its figure, inducing interactions between horizontal and vertical dynamics, such as water flowing in various directions. This recalls a birch tree trunk that weathered severe hardships over time.

在建筑的正南，有一条历史悠久的商业小巷，其中一条著名的叫做Pimatgol。虽然随着市区重建计划，该地区已大致消失，但仍有可能与余下的部分连接起来。通过该地点连接的是东西贾加克，这是一座古老的观景塔，位于庆博宫的东南角。这一地区与三昌洞相连，这一地区仍然充满活力，既有历史传统，也有城市背景。

Directly south of the building an area with historical commercial alleyways, one famous called Pimatgol. Although the area has largely disappeared with the urban renewal project, it is still possible to connect with some of the remaining traces. The connection made through the site is directed toward Dongsipjagak, an ancient watch tower at the southeast corner of Gyeongbok Palace. This area connects to Samcheongdong, an area which remains vibrant, evoking both the historical tradition and urban context.
