Samcheok city is in the administrative district of Gangwon Providence and it is a central area of tourism for the East coast of Korea. Historically, Yisabu, a general/administrator of Silla (one of the nations of ‘Three Kingdoms Period’ in the Korean Peninsula), launched in 512 A.D. his voyage to Usanguk (an island nation in East Coast of Korean Peninsula, now Ulleungdo and Dokdo). It is one of the important pieces of evidence claiming Dokdo for the Republic of Korea.
As a result, Samcheok city has established a project to celebrate Yisabu as a representative figure of Samcheok city. Moreover, it has been promoting various projects to promote historical and cultural significance of incorporating Usanguk. As part of this initiative, it has been suggested that information related to Yisabu should be conveyed through the creative and specialized space so that people can experience its symbolic meaning.
Specifically, the city has announced plans to create a monumental place for Yisabu and Dokdo in the vicinity of Jungrajin Mt. Yukhyang and Obon Port, which are known to be related to the port of departure to Usanguk. Participants in the competition are asked to design a memorial space that integrates history and culture by utilizing the tangible and intangible assets of the Yisabu’s incorporating Usanguk. The planning should include programs such as education, publicity, experience, and play/leisure regarding to Dokdo, as well as spatial plans that can respond to various arts and cultures.
