ne w and r ene wabl e ener gy For modern airports, aesthetic factors are as important as functional ones. Airports
are social infrastructure as well as landmarks. This is why Phase 4 conducted
landscaping work to improve the airport’s scenery. IIAC analyzed the landscape

issues from the previous 3 stages and drew up a masterplan for Phase 4. It chose
the patchwork quilt as the motif considering tradition, awareness, variability, and
locality. Small cells of patchwork compose a formative design and enable a varied
landscape. Based on that, large spaces were secured on the landside.

The space was composed with 4 concepts considering Incheon Airport’s mid- and
long-term plan for culture and art. The idle site on the north and nearby connecting
roads were designated as “Relax-Play Field” to create a green field to offer resting
areas and fun activities. The southern side was designated as “Art-Field” for art

programs and “Culture-Field” for cultural activities. Hwamul IC and the beach
near Sammok Port were designated as “Seaside Park,” preserving the old image of
Yeongjong Island.
