A Horizontal Landscape that holds the Past History and Time
Buyeo(Korean: 부여), was an ancient kingdom that was centered in northern Manchuria in modern-day northeast China. It is sometimes considered a Korean kingdom and a major predecessor of the Korean kingdoms of Goguryeo and Baekje.
The Namryeong park as a site for the Buyeo observatory tower has a low hill topography and is the highest in the Buyeo-eup pedestrian network.
At the top of this place will be built an observatory where you can overlook the entire view of Buyeo and would be secured a visiting point for tourists.
The mass has a horizontal panorama as opposed to the main tourist spot. The observation deck, which is simply composed of a vertical and horizontal combination, connects the historical time of Baekje through the movement of visitors.
This observatory tower that contains the linear movement gives an alternative landscape between the present and the past.
