Some more photos. These are from a quick visit to Childrens grand park. This is a reuse project by Joh Sung-yong. He has converted a modernist clubhouse into a cafe and open adventure space. Interesting idea and much of the existing building has been nicely restored, key components kept. The new insertions are less successful, spacially it is nice to see such a building opened up to the outside and the park.
