Heatherwick Studio has won a global competition to transform the uninhabited Nodeul island on the Han River in the center of Seoul<\/a> <\/strong>into a new public park<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Dubbed Soundscape, the proposal creates a trail of dramatic spaces on different levels that can host musical performances and artistic interventions in a biodiverse landscape. The design draws inspiration from Seoul\u2019s mountainous terrain and the patterns created by soundwaves and was selected following a year-long series of exhibitions, consultations, and a public vote. \u2018In this hyper-digital age, we\u2019ve had so many amazing innovations in the way people live but there has also been an increasing sense of loneliness and isolation. \u00a0We want to make a hyper-physical place that reconnects Seoulites with nature, culture and, most importantly, with each other<\/em>,\u2019 comments studio founder\u00a0<\/a>Thomas Heatherwick.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE October 21st, 2025:<\/strong> The transformation of Nodeul Island officially begins, following a groundbreaking ceremony on October 21st, 2025, attended by citizens and officials. The event featured live music, augmented reality experiences, and interactive displays revealing new details of Heatherwick Studio\u2019s Soundscape design. Commissioned by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the project envisions a new topography dedicated to South Korean music and public recreation. Alongside the arts center and public beach, the development will introduce recording studios, small concert halls, a waterfront amphitheater, a K-pop experience center, a music caf\u00e9, an anechoic chamber, and a karaoke bar. At its heart, a 1.25-kilometer elevated trail, shaped by the patterns of soundwaves and Seoul\u2019s mountain contours, will loop in a figure-of-eight, offering floating rest points and panoramic views of the Han River. \u2018Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive. An invitation to listen, discover, and connect with your fellow Seoulites,\u2019<\/em> shares Thomas Heatherwick<\/strong>. Construction will unfold in phases to maintain public access, with completion now slated for 2028.<\/p>\n

turning nodeul island into public park inspired by soundwaves<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bending and folding like soundwaves, the Soundscape public park will offer residents respite from the bustling city through a nature-infused waterfront at Nodeul Island.\u00a0Stepping onto the island, visitors will move through a landscape that evolves as the tides and seasons change, met by an arts center and a public beach at ground level. Rather than demolishing the existing artificial landscape, Heatherwick Studio (see more here<\/a><\/strong>) seeks to strengthen the riverbanks with soft, naturalistic planting. The landscape will then rise to an event podium, which connects to a dramatic 1.25-kilometer skywalk. This trail will be formed of a series of small, floating islets held in the air, providing resting spaces with spectacular views across the island and the river back to Seoul.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve been really intrigued by how new interventions can really bring Nodeul Island to life.\u00a0 Its not just about an exciting new aerial canopy, but developing a whole creative ecosystem, where spaces above and below the floating landscape are buzzing with activity,\u2019<\/em>\u00a0reflects Neil Hubbard, group leader and partner at Heatherwick Studio<\/strong>.\u00a0Nodeul Island will be Heatherwick Studio\u2019s first project in South Korea to go into construction. The studio will now start work with the Metropolitan Government<\/a><\/strong> on the following stages of design, and visitors should be able to enjoy the new Nodeul Island in 2027.\u00a0In 2023, the studio curated a retrospective exhibition called Building Soulfulness at the Culture Station Seoul 284<\/a><\/strong>, attracting almost 60,000 visitors in just 60 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
