The Maebong-san had remained an affable patron from Nature to caress the City of Seoul both physically and mentally, until the intrusion of the tanks, as the proud symbol of the industrial affluence of humans. The prescription that we are proposing is to infuse the humanized nature and revitalizing programs, which will land, ground, grow and fuse into Maebong-san. Ultimately, what we introduce as treatment will blend into what we appreciate, nature will resurrect in Maebong-san with the old Oil Reserve base becoming a place of interest, for people, for animals, for trees, and for nature herself.
