Yongsan National Urban Park is a 243 hectare park located in Seoul, South Korea, designed in 2012. The design aims to restore the local ecology, expand on the area's history, and promote sustainability through concepts of healing the land. Landscape elements include excavating part of the site to create a lake surrounded by woodlands and meadows. Mamun Residence is a 2,137 square meter home in Chittagong, Bangladesh designed in 2007-2013. The design incorporates elements of rural Bangladeshi landscapes into an urban setting by using concrete, brick, water features and greenery throughout multiple levels of the building. Patios and gardens alternate with empty spaces around a central swimming pool.

international city, where the trajectory toward the future
and respect for the past is reflected in the unique
identity of the city.

existing site through an awareness of its history into a
world-class park that inspires illusions of nature,
ecological restoration and a wide ranging urban park
culture
 Restoring a native environment

4.  Following Korean societal and landscape values, the
ground will be excavated for a lake while the
generated soil will be used as fill for a dramatic
topography of hills to recreate unspoiled scenery
 The vision of the designers is to create a park in
which “nature, culture, history and the future come into
harmony.”

5.  This has been the way Korean people see, meet, and interact with beautiful
mountains and rivers.

Conceptual sketch
.

9.  The key to the project is the rural
landscape of Bangladesh, elements
of which Rafiq Azam reflects in the
urban area of Chittagong
 Here the presence of vegetation
has been reduced to a very low
percentage compared to half a
century ago, when greenery watered
by the monsoons was typical not only
of rural areas but of the cityscape too.
Importance Of Landscaping

10.  The rectangular floor plan is built on four levels.
 Each of which is divided into numerous rooms, favouring
reciprocal communication with plenty of doors, internal
windows and balconies and patio gardens.
 The design of empty spaces offset between different levels
suggests perspectives in discovery of the home.

11.  The Home Looks Compact And Private From The Outside, With Its Tall Concrete Walls.
 In Actual Fact The Concrete Structure Shelters And Supports Gardens And Pools Of Water On Multiple Levels.
 Patios Alternate With Big Empty Spaces Created To Provide Plenty Of Room Around The Swimming Pool, From
Which We Can Enjoy Views Of The Building As A Whole.
 A Key Element In All Rafiq Azam’s Projects, The Pool Of Water.That Serves The Technical Function Of A Heat
Exchange In The Building.
 No Paint Or Plaster, To Avoid Use Of Toxic Products.

climbing plants seem to want to dive into
the pool below.

an eye looking towards the sky, from
which rain can.
