Busan is one of the most densely populated urban areas in South Korea. The tremendous pressure this megacity exacts on architecture in terms of urban revitalization promotes innovation. The purpose of this article is to explore the urban renewal in one particular aspect: the outdoor market in Busan. The development of South Korea, supported by a robust policy and reinforced by Chaebols, has resulted in a legacy of unattractive concrete. When the time has come to review, the Korean government has implemented a new and more influential policy with the aim of improving the economic vitality and preserving the Korean culture. Policymakers have not failed this time to follow the train of modernity and opted for sustainable architecture. Busan is a great city and it represents a laboratory ideally suited to this new policy. The strict criteria of sustainable design are fully respected in order to preserve the cultural heritage of Busan community. Two international examples, Mexico and Rouen, served as an inspiration for projects of Busan where outdoor markets represent nuclei of economic productivity and catalysts of social life. Market Jagalchi was in dire need of new ideas and a revitalization project was undertaken that we will study in detail.

Abstract
Busan is one of the most densely populated urban areas in South Korea. The tremendous pressure this megacity exacts on architecture in terms of urban revitalization promotes innovation. The purpose of this article is to explore the urban renewal in one particular aspect: the outdoor market in Busan. The development of South Korea, supported by a robust policy and reinforced by Chaebols, has resulted in a legacy of unattractive concrete. When the time has come to review, the Korean government has implemented a new and more influential policy with the aim of improving the economic vitality and preserving the Korean culture. Policymakers have not failed this time to follow the train of modernity and opted for sustainable architecture. Busan is a great city and it represents a laboratory ideally suited to this new policy. The strict criteria of sustainable design are fully respected in order to preserve the cultural heritage of Busan community. Two international examples, Mexico and Rouen, served as an inspiration for projects of Busan where outdoor markets represent nuclei of economic productivity and catalysts of social life. Market Jagalchi was in dire need of new ideas and a revitalization project was undertaken that we will study in detail.

Abstract: (french)
Busan est l'une des villes urbaines les plus densément peuplées en Corée du Sud. La pression démesurée que cette mégapole exige sur l'architecture en termes de revitalisation urbaine favorise l'innovation. Le but de cet article est d'explorer le renouvellement urbain dans un aspect particulier : le marché de plein air à Busan. Le développement de la Corée porté par une politique forte et soutenu par les Chaebols a eu pour conséquences pour l'heure un héritage en béton disgracieux. Quand l'heure de la révision a sonné, les pouvoirs publics ont mis en place une nouvelle politique en Corée plus agressive visant le dynamisme économique et préservant la culture coréenne. Les décideurs n'ont pas manqué cette fois-ci de bondir dans le train de l'actualité et d'opter pour une architecture durable. Busan est une ville fantastique et représente un laboratoire parfaitement adapté à cette nouvelle politique. Les critères de conception durable stricte y sont parfaitement respectés afin de préserver l'héritage culturel de la communauté de Busan. Deux exemples internationaux, au Mexique et à Rouen, ont servi d'inspiration pour les projets de Busan où les marchés de plein air représentent des noyaux de productivité économique et des catalyseurs de la vie sociale. Le marché de Jagalchi avait grand besoin d'idées nouvelles et un projet de revitalisation a été entrepris que nous étudierons en détails.
