The user process of a business-type R&D center is thoroughly systematic, different from general educational facilities, and joining by part is being processed first. Therefore, the research process and procedures of the existing labs have been thought of and improved with users. This process has been regarded as a good opportunity to understand the characteristics a business-type R&D center can have. Expandability and changeability are priority principles as research spaces accompanying company activities in the fluctuating market economy.

site plan

It is mainly because the project of core items in the R&D center broadens its areas in limited space within a short period of time. In addition, the moving lines and working conditions of users in a specific environment experience a repetitive process of concentration and easing. Therefore, the space shall be architecturally responded through system labs and offices that can deal with high-density individual research activities and brainstorming spaces for generating creative ideas. Furthermore, through a free-style lobby and creative spaces, the R&D center expects abundant ideas of users, and plans to generate various kinds of communication through balconies that are vertically linked to the external stairs and decks.
