Expectations have risen before the full-fledged start of the festival.

The "2024 Public Design Festival," which marks its third anniversary this year, was held by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Craft and Design Culture Promotion Agency.

It will be held all over the country from today to November 3.

It is a festival that promotes social awareness and role expansion by sharing various cases of public design that lead to substantial changes in the city.

The theme of the 2024 Korea Public Design Awards is Inclusion: Change for All.

The grand prize for the president was 'Omok Park Renovation' in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.

It was highly praised for recreating the aging park, which was built in 1989, as an "art park with culture" considering the lives and leisure methods of current citizens.

Then let's hear from the winners of this year's Public Design Awards.

[Park Seung-jin / 2024 Korea Public Design Award Winner: A lounge is a place where people sit together and talk, chat, and enjoy. So, I designed a corridor and a large corridor in the middle to work as a lounge function park in a city where people can do various activities and talk.]

In Daejeon, which was selected as the "Local Cooperation City" for this year's festival, the "Public Design Debate" will be held on Oct. 30.

In addition, various programs will be held in more than 180 public design hubs nationwide.

An academic conference will be held for experts and citizens in the field of public design so that they can share knowledge and ideas about public design.

In Seongsu, Seoul, there will be an exhibition of all-time public design winners and a weekend farmer's marketplace.
