Ikseon-dong is line 2? Mugunghwa? - 1920, the Japanese colonial period. It is said that Ikseon-dong was a village with Japanese houses. Se-gwon Jeong, who was an independence activist and developer, disliked this and turned it into a hanok village for the common people. 1920 is 100 years ago. From that time on, this place was a small hanok village. Ikseon-dong is the place where small changes were made and the original hanok was maintained even though it was painted with a little brick and cement. [*Refer to Ikseondada's website, Ikseon-dong research] - It is not common to find such a place in Seoul. At most, only a part of Bukchon's Hanok Village and Jongno-gu form this hanok village, and it is only relatively recently that a hanok village has been established in Eunpyeong-gu. However, only a few urban organizations in Ikseon and Jongno-gu retain the sentiments of old hanok. Judging from the historical background, Mullae-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu is also a complex of Jeoksan houses built by the Japanese at the same time. [If you look at the city level, it is probably the case in Soje-dong, Dong-gu, Daejeon.] If there were other people like Jeong Se-gwon, the place might have been different after liberation. However, it is true that Mullae-dong has another spatial value in keeping the painful history of the past intact. The charm of the urban organization that has been passed down from the past changes the direction of the railroad in the times and is expressed in the present in a different form. - There are many settlements in Gakseol and Ikseon-dong. - Although it is a town-level urban organization, it is a neighborhood like Seoul's Line 2, where settlements are located one after another along a narrow and complicated railroad called an alley. But all of them are empty land. Isn't it just line 2? Famous university districts and expensive neighborhoods are all in line with Line 2 passing by. However, this place is closer to the ground or train tracks than the subway. As it retains a lot of traces of the modern urban organization of the past, today's space uses the word 'station', but it exists in accordance with the modern context of a train station rather than a subway. Consider a train*station [referring to the physical space that includes both the train station platform and all-circle space]. You can see the railroad tracks from the platform. Benches next to the railroad tracks provide convenience for waiting passengers. Some benches simply hang under the ceiling of the train station, while others are placed inside the space in case the weather conditions are bad. And there is a signboard indicating the next destination. Through it, travelers and users can make a reservation for my next destination. And at the end of the train station there is also another train track. Alleyways in Ikseon-dong are train tracks. Of course, trains don't actually run, but if you compare it to the phenomenon of a large number of people moving in a small space at once, it is similar. - Nakwon Station is spatially organized according to its type. Of course, it is true that it is dangerous to walk on the railroad tracks, whether it is implying that you should not go up recklessly. In many ways, it follows the pattern as it is, but the conceptual characteristics that are released in accordance with the urban context also coincide with it. If so, I think it is correct to view it as a device [a structure that refers to a system] rather than a decoration. - The difference between the theme park and today's space is this. How do you unravel the stories listed in the urban context and time? Although this space is a station in Ikseon-dong, it is definitely a space with strong context that will play a central role. - Where is my next station? It was said that it was also a good space, but a trip with half anticipation and half worry begins. - This is #Nakwon Station on the railroad track in Ikseon-dong - Location _ 33-5 Supyo-ro 28-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Business hours _ Daily 11:20-22:00 - No parking - The menu is attached. - PS.
