Crit 1: introduction to project intentions

Pin up
Guest tutors: Jonghwan Ahn, Jieun Lee, Christian Schweitzer, Haewon Shin, Ryul Song

This was the first opportunity to introduce our projects to tutors at KNUA, and visiting critics. General feedback raised the question specificity. At this stage, I found difficult to answer. What is landscape? I must question and define what landscape means to me and what my parameters are.

211010 Crit comments - overview

Jon Wan: Look at Yong San Park
- Competition held to design a new park in Seoul on an old army base
- This project lies somewhere between landscape and architecture

What is ‘landscape’?
- Best to refer to ‘landscape’ only, define what landscape means to me (definition should be in contract)

Landscape in the city fabric
- Look at landscape at various scales, not just mountains but plants climbing walls etc. (small study)

Mountains appear from a distance to be in control but actually much is controlled by people/city e.g. hiking, satellites, etc.
- how does Seoul’s landscape impact on culture here?

Subsequent chat with Professor JK
- pointed me to Beigel’s writing and works and how we organise landscape. I have begun reading some of Beigel’s writings so will continue down this route of research and visit Paju Book City
- there are differences between nature and landscape, this landscape is how the city is organised within the landscape – research direction
