The Oil Tank Culture Park is 
It was a legacy of the industrial age 
and a waste industry facility. 
It was reborn as a cultural space for citizens.

In 2013, after the change was 
decided to be a cultural park
through a public offering of citizens. 

In 2017, it was opened to citizens as 
an eco-friendly cultural complex.

It's made by recycling existing resources 
It is a representative large urban renewal landmark of Seoul.

The existing five tanks that used to stock up on oil
are the only ones that can be used to build oil. 

It's transformed into a concert hall, a showroom, 
and a multi-purpose pavilion. 

One new tank is the Information Exchange Center,
 The large outdoor area, which used to be a 
temporary parking lot, became a cultural garden.

 "Hwayugi" as a door to heaven,

After the tank has been dismantled, 
the remaining concrete retaining walls have been removed.

It's a glass structure wall and a roof
 reminiscent of the Apple Store in New York.

Tunneled entry space, incision topographic
 rock wall shape beyond retaining wall.

It can be used as a concert hall, 
exhibition hall, or lecture hall.

Remove all steel parts from the old tank. 

The upper part is an outdoor stage
and underground stage.

Outdoor stage, the sky, mountains,
and wind become part of the performance facility.

It gives you a cool feeling, and a round 
wall gives you a sense of coolness. 

Even in a large space, 
it delivers the sound of the sound as it is.

T3 is the deepest reserve tank in the six tanks 
in the Oil Tank Culture Park. 

Preserve the original tank without modification.

It's a space that was preserved at the
time of the former oil base. 

Looking at the original empty oil reservoir,
You can also review the historical background 
and economic situation of the time
when the oil-rich base was built.

T4 is also a cultural complex that utilizes 
the unique shape of the tank inside. 

The interior and exterior remain
circular without deformation.

Inside the space, video and sound equipment are
 installed to display the media, perform, etc. 
It's designed to offer a variety of visual art exhibitions.
