Changsin-dong is a district in Seoul, South Korea famous for its textile manufacturing trade. Here the existing primary delivery system is a series of motor-bikes, small trucks, and individuals carrying bolts, patterns, and supplies between a series of small dispersed factories throughout the district. Setting out to design a new delivery method for the dated factory system may reinvigorate the character and industry these residents provide to Seoul and the globalizing world.
The new system is designed to attach to the existing context of Changsin Dong, and physically connect each major factory corridor not only to the whole sale market and retail market, but also an interconnection between different production steps within the district. With this system the district may be freed of dense logistic traffic and instead the streets may be opened to the residents and craftsman of the district. The system can begin to cultivate new identities for the district as well as display the culture of Changsin.
