This study presents the design of a historic park that preserves archaeological remains relocated and reconstructed during the redevelopment of the Jamsil Jinju Apartment complex in Seoul. The purpose of this study is to identify design strategies and methods for a historic park that reveal the historical significance of the remains while realizing the public value of an urban park. First, the regional characteristics of the site were analyzed, and the archaeological remains from the Hanseong Period of Baekje were reinterpreted in a contemporary manner. Based on this interpretation, an integrated spatial plan was developed to enable everyday park use and historical experience to coexist. Second, the identity of the place was strengthened through the installation of a Protective Shelter with contemporary architectural aesthetics, serving as a distinctive landmark. Third, play spaces and interpretive facilities were planned to enable visitors to understand the culture of the Hanseong Period of Baekje through experiential engagement within the park. This study explores the potential coexistence of the past and the present within an urban park setting and proposes a design approach for historic parks that balances preservation and public use, enabling the historical value of archaeological remains to be sustained and transmitted to future generations.
