Seoul Gift Crit

Our final walls

Our Final crit in Seoul took place in our studio at KNUA, we were joined by Robert, Peter Feretto, Haewon, Ryul and Christian, Stef, mulled wine and mince pies.....


Key comments for my project include:

PF Could the ‘market’ move, it is static and permanent, perhaps a circus of events that colonise and adapt to given context is better (and more Korean)

R-You are doing what Beni avoided, inserting a default program in naming as such, which closes possibilities and it becomes familiar, blocks imagination.
Should be a subtle reprioritising of elements that allow things to happen in central space
v.nice model and photos of APT, suggesting ‘promiscuous’ relationship between interior and exterior.  could it be a choreographed space with ambiguous activity?
Plan is zoned, does exactly what you don’t want it to do.
3rd scale is apartment, 3 scales, completes thesis?

S- Could you play with the transparencies and different depths of space of the apartments?

P-could be something that occupies site during period when building is abandoned before it is demolished. A system that is not explicit to one plot, a repertoire, you apply and adapt to each site?

S-Exploit the homogeneity of the structures, a robust concrete frame?

R-Apartments are quiet, the only such spaces in seoul, should these environments be invaded?

P-Good you have developed project through drawings and used to extrapolate thesis.
