　　March 25, 2020 – Department store Galleria, designed by OMA / Chris van Duijn, has opened in Gwanggyo, a new town just south of Seoul. Located at the center of this young urban development surrounded by tall residential towers, the Galleria’s stone-like appearance makes it a natural point of gravity for public life in Gwanggyo. 
 
　　2020 年 3 月 25 日 – 由 OMA/克里斯·范杜恩（Chris van Duijn）設計的 Galleria 百貨公司在首爾南部的新市鎮光教正式開幕。 Galleria 光教店位于這新城市發展區的中心，周圍被高層住宅包圍著，石塊般的外形賦予其自然氣質，使之成為光教居民生活的一個焦點。

　　The Gwanggyo store is the sixth branch of Galleria—Korea’s largest upscale department store franchise founded in the 1970s. Sculpted as a stone volume with a textured mosaic stone façade, the building evokes the nature of its neighbouring Suwon Gwanggyo Lake Park. A public route is excavated from the stone volume and connects the public side walk to a roof garden—to include both retail and cultural activities. It introduces an innovative element to the traditional typology of a department store.

　　Galleria 在 1970 年代成立，是韓國最大的高級精品百貨公司品牌。光教店是 Galleria 的第六家分店。大樓 建筑造型猶如石塊一般，配合富有肌理和質感的馬塞克石材外立面，讓人想起鄰近的水原光教湖公園的自 然景色。在石材體量上開鑿出的公眾路線連接公共人行道至天臺花園，沿途帶來各式零售商業和文化活動 體驗。此設計為傳統百貨公司類型引入創新元素。

　　The public route has a multifaceted glass façade that contrasts with the opacity of the stone. Through the glass, retail and cultural activities inside are revealed to the city’s passers-by, while visitors in the interior acquire new vantage points to experience Gwanggyo. Formed with a sequence of cascading terraces, the public loop offers spaces for exhibitions and performances. 

　　公眾路線有著像經過雕琢的寶石般的多棱玻璃立面，與不透光的石材形成強烈對比。城市的途人可透過玻 璃看到室內的零售和文化活動，而在里面的訪客則獲得了體驗光教城市風光的一個全新觀景點。由一連串 漸落的平臺組成的公眾環路帶來展覽和表演空間。

　　OMA Partner Chris van Duijn: “With a public loop deliberately designed for cultural offerings, Galleria in Gwanggyo is a place where visitors engage with architecture and culture as they shop. They leave with a unique retail experience blended with pleasant surprises after each visit.”

　　OMA 合伙人克里斯·范杜恩表示：「透過特意為文化體驗而設的公眾環路設計，讓 Galleria 光教店成為訪客 在享受購物的同時，可與建筑及文化產生互動的地方，讓訪客每次到訪后都留下既愉快又驚喜的獨特零售 體驗。」

　　OMA Associate Ravi Kamisetti: “The Public Loop entwines Gwanggyo and the Galleria by making visible and tangible the activities of shopping typically hidden from the city.”

　　Hanwha Galleria President and CEO Eun Soo Kim: “Galleria Gwanggyo is the largest department store that Galleria has opened in ten years and will play a pivotal role as a core branch providing premium MD lineup and the best VIP facilities and services. In addition, through collaboration with world-class architect OMA, it is well received both domestically and internationally for its creative architecture that is distinct from typical department store format, which applies a new paradigm that ‘transmits light throughout the building through the Public Loop’. Galleria Gwanggyo is the most beautiful department store and is expected to become a unique landmark representing Korea and the world, providing a new inspiration to customers.”

　　OMA 協理金剎迪（Ravi Kamisetti）表示：「這個公共環路將通常隱藏在商業建筑內的顧客購物活動變為可 見的、有形的，展露予外部城市，讓 Galleria 與光教城鎮生活緊密聯系在一起。」

　　The project is led by Chris van Duijn, Associate Ravi Kamisetti, and Project Architect Patrizia Zobernig. The local executive architect is Gansam. 

　　項目由合伙人克里斯·范杜恩、協理金剎迪及項目建筑師蘇比妮（Patrizia Zobernig）帶領設計。本地執行建筑師為 Gansam。
