Oil Tank Culture Park
The Oil Tank Culture Park is a renovated public park located in Mapo, Seoul, South Korea. Overview 
The Oil Tank Culture Park is a cultural complex located in west Seoul, in the vicinity of the World Cup Stadium. The space, which previously was an oil storage facility, has been renovated into a environmentally-conscious park that holds a number of exhibitions and cultural events along the year. The oil reservoir tanks remains on the site and they have been transformed into performance venues, learning spaces and exhibitions halls. The six tanks that conformed the complex have been transformed into the following installations: the Culture Yard, the Glass Pavilion, the Stage, the Tank Type, the Culture Complex, the Story Hall and the Community Center. History 
The park was originally an oil storage facility constructed in 1976 in response to the oil crisis of 1973. Six tanks were installed at the foot of Maebongsan mountain to prepare for emergency situations. They were filled with 69.0 million liters of oil, enough to be consumed by the citizens of Seoul for a month. However, it was classified as a hazardous facility when the constructions for the World Cup Stadium began and was permanently closed in 2000, before the World Cup took place in Seoul in 2002. In 2013, the Seoul Metropolitan Government led a renewal project to transform the place into an eco-friendly culture complex and held an international design contest where various architectural firms participated. The winning design plan was "Petro: Reading the Story of the Site" by RoA Architects. Nowadays the park is opened to the general public and held events on a regular basis. Facilities
