New Images of Korea Society Exhibit

Last year we put on a ‘mini’ version of the Covergent Flux: Korea exhibit at the Korea Society in New York and we finally got around to putting the images on our website (yes, we are very behind on updates which thankfully means we’re busy with projects!). The contents were originally was shown at the Harvard GSD two years ago where it was the first cross-disciplinary exhibit on Korea architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design mounted in the United States. The challenge of the Korea Society version was that in a space 10 times smaller than the GSD’s Gund Hall gallery we had to condense the complex information into something legible without oversimplifying the issues. The other major challenge was to honor all the designers that participated in the original exhibit by not editing out any of the projects. Our solution was to use motion sensors triggering LED’s so that when one walks around the room, the changing illumination patterns relate the project to the 5 organizing themes as well as to each other. Shifting to an even smaller scale, we are preparing for the launch of the book version of Convergent Flux: Architecture and Urbanism in Korea, in the upcoming new year. Please stay tuned…
