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.
