Our First Presentation was the first opportunity to get feedback from the Korean tutors. Clearly, the APT is a very important issue for Korean architects, but also a very sensitive cultural area and as Haeown said 'you are stepping on a landmine' !
Summary of comments:
-clarify intentions of working with this subject area, is it to renovate a particular block?
-compare the atmosphere and activities of traditional neighborhoods with that of typical APT
-what is the place of the architect? These are designed and built by developers and companies
-There are different generation of APT, those older ones designed around cars, and newer ones which are more sophisticated in terms of social relationships. The middle generation are now 'under threat' of redevelopment.
-The shock of mass housing used as tool for social aspiration (korea) vs. Social housing (Europe). When someone climbs social ladder they purchase new apt. what happens to those who are stuck in the old ones?
