The Graduate School of Design at Harvard University recently dedicated its annual six-week exhibition to contemporary Korean architecture… dubbed "New Trajectories: Convergent Flux‚ Korea."
[Interview : Park Jin-hee‚ Architecture lecturer
GSD‚ Harvard University ] "This exhibition is a part of a series that Harvard Graduate School of Design initiated last year. This is their second year. The main goal is to highlight the country that has emerged as an architectural significance."
Among the 28 Korean projects exhibited… the Seonyudo Park in Seoul and a publication-culture community‚ the Paju Bookcity in Gyeonggi Province were among those that drew much attention.
Seonyudo is an islet that lies in the middle of the Han River‚ which runs through the capital city of Seoul.
What's now a beautiful park at the center of a busy metropolis… used to be a water treatment plant until 1998.
The award-winning factor about this area is that an urban park was created by converting the existing sewage treatment infrastructure to frame its ecological planning as a solution to the lack of green in the rapidly urbanizing city.
Former water basins and filtration plants are now the settings for native aquatic plants and a fern garden while the concentrator and the regulator are now a playing field and an amphitheater.
[Interview : Kim Do-hyeon‚ Seoul resident] "I come here once in awhile because it's close to home. It's so nice to have such a beautiful park in the middle of a city."
Meanwhile‚ the Paju Bookcity‚ built on marshland‚ former flood plains and paddyfields 30 kilometers northwest of Seoul is a never-before-seen new town based exclusively around publishing.
[Interview : Seung H-sang‚ Architect
Iroje architects & planners] "The main focus of this project was about space. A city is a place where strangers come to live together. And for an urban city to be healthy‚ common grounds where they meet‚ such as parks‚ must be well-developed."
The "urban wetland" follows contours of the landscape with one main road and a series of tighter roads creating a denser network of small publishing houses… some even conjoined by small overpasses.
It attempts to convey a traditional moral valued in the old days of Korea harmony.
Harmony between people‚ between human and nature… and between the old and the new.
[Interview : Seung H-sang‚ Architect
Iroje architects & planners] "Normally‚ a city is created by wiping out the original landscape flattening out hills‚ filling the gaps of valleys‚ and building artificial structures and then planting trees again to restore the destroyed nature. This is the western style of urban planning.
But Korean architecture is different because we live on very rugged land.
Our way is to preserve the nature as it is.
Korean architecture is about relationships and harmony. Hence‚ it becomes an issue of ethics."
Ironically enough‚ as Korean society rapidly obliterates its "tradition" in the name of "modernization" and "westernization"… the rest of the world begins to focus on modern Korean architecture because of this very "Korean" factor.
