123 3×1750 mm @ room 2207

of course, this »learning« is not only happening from this person whom you might want to call teacher or professor: you learn from everyone, from everything.
of course, learning about space is predominantly happening by absorbing, feeling, analysing spaces; plus perhaps a little introduction hereunto. should you agree so far, then it sure will be self-evident, that a space-teaching purposed space could by no means be undermined with that polygreyish softcornered corporate office outfit visual pollution.

room 2207 was transformed from this corporate office into a flexible multipurpose space:
three elements, conjointly sharing 1750 mm as their length to keep things simple. Continue reading

계대 04 se-woon-sang-ga @ BÉF 2013

»Architecture has begun to focus on abandoned buildings in the past few years worldwide. Politically undesirable structures, ruins of modern buildings with lost function due to social changes, settlements emptied by natural disasters and „skeletons” left behind by arrested developments as results of the financial crisis – same questions in different shapes: what to do with abandoned spaces, how to provide them with new function, how could they fit to the new requirements of built environment.«

108 daegu tobacco studios

»Raw space for art!« that is what we suggest to the city council of daegu and the daegu fine arts association, who invited us to an international symposium, about the transformation of the 60.000 qm tabacco-factory »kt&g« into a cultural area. The massive building, near daegu station and near the historical city center, which is  a monumental witness of the korean industrial age and empty for several years, could be a corner-stone for the revitalisation of the whole area. > map


It could be a really symbiotic process, a »long-term interaction between different biological species« to start  using the building as factory for creative & cultural industries >from industrial production to cultural production. The building will survive, the artists will have space for their experimental art production and the neighbours will have vital partner, which effect on the urban space and the quality of the city.

계대 04 se-woon-sang-ga

a documentary movie about our research in the life of 세운상가: 60s hybrid megastructure by kim swoo geun in the heart of seoul, unique iconic dinosaur, more than 1.000 meters of beton brut. featuring interviews with seung-h-sang, peter ferretto, yi jong-ho, e joong-jae et al.

Kein anderer Architekt des 20. Jahrhunderts war in Korea einflussreicher als Kim Swoo Geun. Während er aber in seiner Heimat bis heute eine Berühmtheit ist, stellt sich uns – auch 25 Jahre nach seinem Tod – noch immer die gleiche Frage, die bereits 1979 ein Time-Life-Redakteur formulierte: „Ob er wohl jemals auch internationale Bekanntheit erlangt?“ (…) Kim Swoo Geun wurde 1931 in Cheongjin, in der Provinz Hamgyong-Namdo im Norden Koreas, geboren. Zum Studium schrieb er sich an der National University von Seoul im Fachbereich Architektur ein, für einen von seinerzeit nur zwei Studiengängen mit vierjähriger Dauer. Sein Studium währte noch keine drei Monate, als der Koreakrieg ausbrach. Nicht in der Lage, aus Seoul zu fliehen, wurde Kim von nordkoreanischen Soldaten zum Militärdienst beordert. Mit knapper Not gelang es ihm, sich der Anordnung zu entziehen und er machte sich, gerade 20 Jahre alt, als blinder Passagier auf den Weg nach Japan, um dort seine Studien fortzusetzen. Nach seinem ersten Abschluss am Tokyo Art College, wo er zu den Schützlingen Yoshimura Junjos gehörte, wechselte Kim zum erfolgreichen Masterstudium an die Tokyo University. Im Jahr 1959, Kim war zu dieser Zeit Doktorand in Tokyo, gewann er mit einer Gruppe junger koreanischer Studenten den Wettbewerb für den Entwurf des koreanischen Parlaments. Zwar kam es, da die korrupte Regierung Rhee kurze Zeit später durch einen Volksaufstand gestürzt wurde, nicht zur Verwirklichung des Projekts, doch immerhin versetzte es Kim in den Stand, in seine Heimat zurückkehren zu können. Kim Swoo Geuns Karriere nahm einen steilen Anstieg, als er die Gunst des neuen Militärregimes Park Chung Hees erlangte. Im Zuge der Industrialisierungsbestrebungen des Landes fielen ihm erste wichtige Projekte zu, die er im skulpturalen Stil des Brutalismus ausführte. Zu den herausragenden Arbeiten dieser ersten Phase gehören die Hill Top Bar (1961), das Freedom Center and Tower Hotel (1963), das Buyeo Museum (1965) und das KIST Main Building (1967). Unter Kims Ägide als Präsident der koreanischen Engineering and Consulting Cooperation entstanden umfassende Planungen für die städtebauliche Neugestaltung der Insel Yoido, zur Sanierung des Zentrums von Seoul und für den Bau eines neuen internationalen Flughafens.
