As part of a long-term plan to enhance the contemporary image of the city, the municipal authorities have announced an international idea competition for the design of the Water Front Area in Gwangalli which has rich historical inscriptions, yet not be properly defined as an important part of the metropolis. Moreover, the recent construction of the Gwangan Grand Bridge changed the entire cityscape as well as the seascape. The current system of spaces is mostly the result of the casual changes in the car traffic patterns. It is determined neither by the visionary schemes nor by conscious intention to shape the Water Front Area. The Area is surrounded today by disordered structures without urbanistic quality and waiting to be re-designed. The competition is questioning architects and architectural students how this area can be designed to provide its own identity.
