When trams had run in the heart of Seoul, the name of the island was Jungjido. The image of the island is little bit different in our memories. Sandy beach where people enjoyed river bathing, quiet dating place for couples, place where parade marches through on Armed Forces Day, the island which gets crowded all of a sudden when Seoul Firework Festival is held, the name of this island is Nodeul Island. A beautiful name with meaning of stepping stone where white heron paddled. Nodeul Island is in the middle of Seoul just like the expression but this is an island we look at from distance and slide by. This is a place where we can meet beautiful sunset and basic nature which we can hardly imagine from the city. Nodeul Island is a place where we can meet unusual scenery and sometimes surrealistic situation. Han River Art Island Nodeul Island used to be a private property. In 2005, the Seoul city government purchased it to develop a cultural complex and they held three competitions over three years (2005~2009). It was a process to find specific appearance of the Han River Art Island Project including opera house, youth music hall, art gallery and so on. It was a monumental project that proves we moved on from days dominated by economic logics and shows cultural values are much more important to us. Music and art are very important values which will go along with our daily lives. Thus, concert hall and art gallery should be located where we can easily approach. However, Nodeul Island is still an island of a city. Additional transport infrastructure was required to allow daily access of citizens. The budget required for island connecting transportation facilities construction was an enormous amount of money. Han River Art Island Project’s estimated amount for facility investment was over 600 billion KRW. Public cultural facility with difficult access is obviously hard to operate. Public facility with lack of operational continuity will end up demanding continuous operating expense support besides initial facility investment cost. Public Cultural Facility should function as catalyst for city. It should play a role of changing surrounding area as cultural spaces and restructuring city structures. It should return cultural values and economic compensation in larger reproduction to the citizens. Thus, cultural facility should be located in downtown. We have some cases, such as, ARCO Art Center which improved Deahak-ro and National Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul) which changed Bukchon. There is a negative lesson of large cultural facility which is located far away from the city and isolated in the forest. However, the island is even further away than forest. Starting the project was possible as fund of 200 billion KRW is already prepared. However, budget deficit problem of Seoul rose in 2010 and <Nodeul Island Art Center Construction Fund Ordinance> was repealed. Thus, the fund was used for reducing debts of Seoul. In addition, municipal assembly repealed <Han River Art Island Establishment and Management Ordinance>. As actual project initiative power and basis disappeared, Han River Art Island Project has aborted. Part of fund, in approximate amount of 27.7 billion KRW which was executed for field study and design fee, sank. They could request to resume the project in order to restore the sunken cost. But the part we need to pay attention on is additional budget, not the sunken cost. Opportunity cost which should be continuously invested could be turn into sunken cost, and it might require endless support on operating expense to resume this project. This was a very important matter which requires citizen’s insight and agreement. In 2013, the Seoul Institute worked on ‘Expert Opinion Survey Research on Nodeul Island Utilization.’ Majority of experts did not opposed to Cultural Facility Construction. The part they opposed to was ‘large scale’ cultural facility construction of ‘Nodeul Island.’ The conclusion was it is recommended to seek for methods to utilize the space instead of neglecting it due to its large potential value. For thorough discussion, Nodeul Island Forum has formed and the necessity of accepting various citizen’s opinion was brought up. As opinion acceptance process, Seoul city held online public opinion survey, student design camp, citizen’s idea contest, idea sketch of local/oversea professional exhibition, and open forum for citizens. Organizing various and valuable opinions and suggestions, Nodeul Island’s construction direction could converged into two values: this should be a place where all citizen should cultivate together and enjoy and it should be completed in steps. When we integrate this sentence, the key words converge into citizen and history. 노들섬 전경 (노들섬 사진공모전 1회 후보작 ‘한강의 중심’) Dreams of Citizen 화산남(華山南) 한수북(漢水北) 천년승지(千年勝地) 광통교(廣通橋) 운종가(雲鍾街) 건나드러 낙락장송(落落長松) 정정고백(亭亭古柏) 추상오부(秋霜烏府) 위 만고청풍(萬古淸風)ㅅ경(景) 긔 엇더니잇고 (Mean: South of Bukhan Mountian, north of Han River, famous scenic land from old times, crossing Gwanggyo and Jongno, majestic Saheonbu with drooping pine tree and towering nut pine (elder minister of the court.) This is the beginning of Sang'dae byeol-gok of Kwon Geun. The image of dream and hope foreseeing thousand years of the city from Cheonggye Stream Kwangtong Bridge, which is located in the middle of Hanyang (old name of Seoul) of early establishment of Joseon Dyansty, is drawn in this poem. Seoul should still be a place like that. We put healthy society, which we can dream in and shape the future together, in Seoul and expect that such a society will build Seoul. However, we must admit the spaces of dissatisfaction by compromising with reality and frustration are blended in Seoul. But surrealistic place, ‘Island of City’ is a different place. Currently, Han River Nodeul Island, located in the heart of Seoul, wants to be a Nodeul Dream Island where we can draw our dreams. Yul-do, a country that Hong Gil-dong, child of a concubine who was discriminated, established or Binseom (Empty Island), place where a poor scholar, Heo Saeng dreamt of, might be one of the places like that. Neverland from Peter Pan might be one of them, as well. The theme this island still needs is citizen and history. 1. Citizen If society is a group of citizens, in what method free and equal civil society can be represented? It should be a social system or operating system. First operating system of Nodeul Dream Island will be established by inventive project idea of creative proposer. Empathic value about a civil society that we expect should be magnified in this island operation system. But what completes the island is citizen’s participation. Elaborate rules and scenario that narrate how citizen will participate on completion of the society and establish the form of island should be included. 2. History Society and city do not get completed by great elite and in fact, the moment of completion does not exist. What would be the plan to draw active intervention of our next generation and accumulate their traces on this island? Nodeul Dream Island should be a place where citizen’s experience and memory accumulate. Required space for realizing the project and first facility plan should start in reasonable scale. Also, in background of the plan, it should enable future citizen’s spatial participation while flexibly responding to their behavior and demands. New Style Competition Democratic society judge value through the process of reaching a conclusion rather than the value that conclusion embodies. Sound society maintains and develops through keen competition and impartial judgement. The institutional strategy of these competition and judgement is competition. Future shape of Nodeul Dream Island will be selected by competition. All of operational planning of Nodeul Dream Island, Space Planning, and first operator will be selected by competition. This competition wants to be a monumental project for proceeding through the most democratic process rather than being the most glamourous and enormous structure. This project is meaningful as it even select proposal on how to utilize Nodeul Island through competition. Of course, that proposal projects our dreams yet premised on practical possibility in reality.
