What backs it

Seoul's Nodeul Island, a man-made island on the Han River, opened sections to the public on September 17, 2026, featuring ecological gardens, playgrounds, a 1.5-kilometer walking trail, and a sculptural tiered gateway called In Between Garden designed by Heatherwick Studio.

Worth noting

The full vision of Soundscape is still under development; the opened areas are the foundation for the next phase of construction.
