Hongjie: A revisit

A long retaining wall, dividing two communities

A typical scenario in Seoul, Hongjie reveals the layers of the edges of the city. As we begin to consider a site for the gift project, I have decided to return to the place where I first starting looking for retaining walls.

The apatu development behind the long retaining wall disconnects the older mid-rise buildings from the mountain. Routes through to the landscape are almost non-existent.
