Yeoui Naru Ferry Terminal - Massimo Gnocchi Architects

The Yeoui Naru project represents a new ferry terminal paradigm. Our proposal is an iconic building, but also a sustainable architecture that is more than a landmark, it is a place which invites and draws together both the visitors and the community of Seoul to meet with architecture, culture and tradition.

The meticulous fragmentation of the volume of the building creates new paths that consent a natural flux and a flexible access to internal and external space, engendering squares and streets with different perspectives everywhere, from the pathway to the landscape.

Mooring maneuvers

The analysis of each possible approach route considers boats over 60 meters long. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2002O Maneuverability Regulations have been considered in order to define the routes.

Docks

The docks have been designed using a floating technology. Their width varies from 2,50 to 16 meters. Their main structure is made of galvanized steel, and it is supported by floating keels made of thermoplastic resin with an expanded core.
