Liberation of small areas. - This is called Haebangchon because it is a village that was created after liberation. Although there is a separate official name for administrative districts, we still call this place Haebangchon. In the past, there was a Japanese shrine here, and refugees after the Korean War formed a village. It was also a typical shanty town, and photos from the past show how outdated it is. This Haebangchon has maintained its present form as houses were built in the 60s and 70s. Buildings that were built at random without a plan at the time filled the slopes and created a very complex urban organization. The formation process may be different, but in terms of the physical environment, it is a very complex and narrow residential complex that is no different from Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan. Here in Haebangchon, there are several symbolic spaces. Today is the story of one of them, 'Emerging Market'. - Shinheung Market was originally called 'Haebangchon Market' in 1983. It was also a place to make sweaters in the 60s and 70s. Since then, as time passed, artists from various regions in the Seoul area who could not withstand the gentrification came in, and they took on their unique appearance. - As mentioned earlier, Haebangchon is very complex and the alleys are narrow and steep. Most of the buildings have 3 or 4 floors, and the parking space is also very narrow. These sentences say that the physical density of urban organization is enormous. There is no space for newer entry, and the gap between the buildings is not wide, so it may be much more advantageous to demolish the whole and build a new one than to renew it. However, this place has its own charm. - Sophomore year in college, I would like to recite the results of a study conducted in this neighborhood with 10 colleagues for several months. Unlike other cities in other regions, this urban organization has a very diverse population of religions. Thanks to that, it is also a place where you can easily see food that you can't see easily. Also, due to the high physical density of the floor level, there are many different types of using the roof of the building to enjoy space. - These two sentences seem like little, but if you actually experience this city, you can have a very rich experience. There are many places that are not easily seen. You can often experience the appearance of a multi-country with diverse food cultures with various religions, and at the same time, there are many interesting examples of using vertical space to make good use of this narrow and complex place. One of them is today's space. - There is a way to push some and build a new one when there is no more space physically, but there is also a way to enrich the system of space and lower the psychological density rather than solve it through a physical one. The charm of this complex, narrow and difficult urban organization is the scenes created by vertically linking the spaces. Even on a narrow floor, it gives a rich experience. This can be a very effective method. Today's space occupies a narrow space around the perimeter of an emerging market. - The floor area is very narrow. However, about 1/4 of the floor area is being replaced with a beautiful staircase, probably to emphasize the vertical connection. The stairs are connected to the roof floor, and you can experience the space in all directions by going up the circular stairs. The scenes that you can see from the window into the space as you go up one by one are rich. It is a small space, but it is a way to provide a fruitful experience by focusing on vertical connection. Many of the visitors here are local residents. This is also a big attraction. This is because the residents of this urban organization have diverse cultures. If this space had been in another urban organization, you might have thought that it was too narrow and complicated and uncomfortable. - A space that stands tall with experience in a small area This is #upstanding coffee in the emerging market. - Location _ 99-11 Sinheung-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul - Business hours _ Daily 12:00-20:00 Mon-Sun - No parking - The menu is attached. - PS.
