AECSC Education and Sports Center
Positioned at the intersection of contrasting urban landscapes, the AECSC (Arts Education & Comprehensive Sports Centers) situates itself amidst the juxtaposition of high-density housing towers in the south and west and smaller single houses in the north and east. The pronounced difference in this context is further emphasized by the sloping topography, ascending from north to south. To address this urban dichotomy, the design places two main volumes at different heights. These volumes house the independent institutions of the Arts Education Center and the Comprehensive Sports Center. Below them, a morphed ground adapts to the undulating topography, creating a dynamic relationship with the elevated volumes. This public surface conceals underground spaces that accommodate parking and services.
