Client                  Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

 

Yongsan National Park will replace the 8th US army base in downtown

Seoul. The design proposes a “morphogenic field” for ecological democracy

and U-eco metropolis, not only a blueprint based on ‘form’ but a dynamic

ecological and social process of a living park. Land is regarded as body to

heal and to experience, where remaining structures are recycled, green / blue

networks are reconnected, and memory and identity of place is reestablished.

For this, we bring in Field design theory and Quantum aesthetics, integrating

art and science, East and West, old and new.
