Architecture in Seoul — where traditional Korean courtyard houses exist alongside hyper-modern cultural centres. Cafés built inside renovated hanok, concrete towers rising from narrow hillside lots, and a generation of Korean architects defining a new architectural identity.
Architecture that treats concrete as an extension of ground rather than an object placed on it. Houses half-buried in dunes, cantilevered over forest, rammed back from the stone of their own ruins, domed over fields. Cultural centres, motorway chapels, tram stops, residences, pavilions — projects where mass, cure time, and formwork texture are the subject, not the by-product of construction.
