After winning the international design competition promoted by the Busan Architecture Festival (BAF), the project by OBR Open Building Research in collaboration with Bhujon Kang Architects, Arup, and Openfabric, is moving forward.
During the final stage of the competition, Paolo Brescia, Co-Founder of OBR, presented the project in Busan.
OBR’s proposal for Global Startup Hub aims to transform this site into a waterfront plaza open to all, where a renewed urban ritual can unfold: a place for the people of Busan to gather, linger, and reconnect, in dialogue with the sun, the wind, and the sea.
