Preliminary Research Office, headed by Yaohua Wang, Dingliang Yang and Chloe Natanél Brunner, has shared their proposal for the YeouiNaru Ferry Terminal. The proposed Ferry Terminal is situated upon Seoul’s Han River and is surrounded by both natural and urban landscapes. The project uses playful graphic and perspectival looseness to foster endless elevations and gradual sense of proximity and approach. 

PRO's proposes looks for walkways to connect each platform into the surrounding park and the Han River promenade. The promenade itself steps down upon intersection with the terminal, maintaining continuous circulation along the waterfront. 

At the center of the structure, PRO designs the intersection of two large volumes, and two levels merging into one, producing and branching into three docking areas. These docking areas continue into the water to meet the ferries at the terminal.

As stated by Preliminary Research Office, "The form of the terminal was generated by extending two single-point perspectival projections through a composition of cylindrical and conical volumes. The two points of projection are located relatively to the structure in such a way as to direct circulation through both the terminal and the surrounding landscape. The terminal itself resolves into differing perspectival compositions when viewed from each of the points of projection, affording visitors a rich array of differing views when interpolating between these two points."

As always Preliminary Research Office produces both a visually and conceptually grounded and potent proposal while continuing their own office's investigation into geometry, representation, and contemporary architectural issues.
