Han River, "River of Life", running through the heart of Seoul, played an important role for who settled here in Korean history. Yeouido, where the proposed Ferry Terminal will be located, is the largest river island in Seoul recognised as the beginning point within coordinates of Korea. In here, one can experience both the modern development and fabulous natural scenery at the same time. Such a hybrid unique character supports Yeouido as a significant symbol of riverside urban public space. Right in between, the proposed Ferry Terminal has a dual role as water transportation hub for both daily commute and recreation. This brand-new floating structure aims to be an open platform for everyone. First of all, the streamlined form following the river flow minimises disturbance to the calm scenery. The one integral horizontal roof gives a strong landmark effect and signifies unique tranquility of the Han River. Secondly, the proposed urban traffic network to the Ferry Terminal aims to reconnect the River with the daily life of the City. The open, transparent architectural design recaptures the essence of the River as a public open space. All in all, the concept of "With the Flow" is to extract the essential beauty of the Han River, and let the Ferry Terminal be fully engaged with, or even more, be part of the flow.
