This study proposes a architectural plan to establish a seaside youth marine life experience center, a project long desired by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education. Key factors considered in the plan are regional characteristics and conditions, and the plan aims include various cultural and educational programs for youth suited for demands of the changing times. Also, consideration was given to actively use outdoor spaces to enable youth to experience both various marine life experience activities and training/adventure activities. The results of this study are as follows. First, the plan creates environmentally-friendly and streamlined spaces that accommodate the natural landscape and opens views through a cross-sectional plan that considers the highs and lows of the existing land. Second, buildings with similar shapes were concentrated on the same plane for the efficient linking of buildings and natural connections between walking paths. Third, the cafeteria and auditorium was placed on the ground floor to maximize the connection with the halls and exhibition spaces and for the convenience of users. Fourth, student and teacher dormitories were separated and placed independently but placed to be mutually connected to provide independence to the teacher dormitory and simultaneously allow efficient management of students. Finally, a landmark image that represents the Gwangju Seaside Youth Training Center was expressed through a linear landscaping plan.
