Contemporary Korean Architecture
The idea is to offer for the very first time an insight into the architectural currents and issues in that booming Asian country by means of this presentation of leading architects and architectural studios in South Korea. Each of the 16 companies shows projects during the last ten years.
In recent years, there has been considerable pressure on Seoul with its 10 million inhabitants in the city center, while ranking the second in population density among the global megacities has the second lowest density of structures. Vertical density becomes the only possible solution, yet at the same time this prompts a very rapid change in living habits and cultures. Today, the high-rise designs by CHO Minsuk/Mass Studies, a hybrid of high-tech and nature for new urban nomads, are becoming increasingly noted world-wide. Like other less known buildings and plans by Korean architects, they catch the eye with their innovative, experimental, ecological and often also hybrid solutions.
The exhibition is the product of close cooperation with Korea Architects Institute (KAI) in Seoul. An exhibition catalogue in German and English will be published by Jovis Verlag, Berlin.
