Venice Biennale, IUAV / Korean Cultural Centre UK, London Festival of Architecture 2016

[ In association with the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2017 ]

The exhibition presents current and future initiatives being undertaken by the Seoul Metropolitan Government with a focus on nine projects that exemplify the question of recycling the city. Through a re-conceptualized figure-ground technique, underutilized, infrastructural, or sub-grade spaces are shown transformed into alternative public and semi-public realms. Beyond traditional ideas of public squares and boulevards, the exhibit shows how existing fabrics can be recycled into new forms of urban commons.
