(Bujeon Global Vision Center) on the adjacent site of Oncheon-Cheon (Oncheon Creek) across the Dongrae District in Busan has expressed its willingness to contribute towards the international community in its name. It aims to communicate with Busan and Dongrae District to provide hospitality and peaceful sanctuary for Oncheon-Cheon (Oncheon Creek) and Busan citizens and to embody a modern Christian program which is rich and incorporates the city and nature. The purpose of the architecture is to be a landmark for missionary work, peace, and love.In order to provide a comfortable nature-like rest area in a peaceful urban outdoor space, the entrance square, outdoor stairs and a public garden-view staircase to the rooftop garden are created. After climbing the hill, all citizens of Busan can enjoy a panoramic view of Busan from inside and outside the church. At the top of the stairs, the rooftop garden under the Cross tower opens in all directions becomes the climax of the linear garden.
