Case Study 4 - Common Ground in Korea
From this case study, we are inspired to create a collective living space that uses the concept of stacking shipping containers just like how this 'Common Ground' does it. We find out that using shipping container to be functioned as a room is creative and brings vibrancy. We would like to try it for our solution as we want to bring something fresh for our target audience that is the elderly aged between 65 and above. This concept is applied into our Goltainer Centre. I will explain more about Goltainer Centre in my next blog post about Chapter 3 Design Solution.
What is Common Ground?
On April 10, the largest container park in the world opened in the rather dead market of Konkuk University, Seoul, comprised of 200 containers in total, surpassing that of Container Park in Las Vegas. Dubbed “Common Ground,” the multi-complex boasts 56 fashion brands and 16 food and drink stalls, along with a culture space. Interestingly, Common Ground doesn’t have any SPA or franchise brands that normally flood the shopping malls in this country. Instead, it is filled with petite shops from young entrepreneurs and social enterprises.
