Seoul 100-year Masterplan Exhibition Idea Competition for Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2023
South Korea’s capital was relocated to Hanyang (present-day Seoul) in the 1390s. Seoul has grown and developed with a focus on economic efficiency throughout the process of modernization. On the flip side, the city has become more cut off from the benefits provided by Mother Nature featuring its mountains, streams, winds, etc.
At the 2023 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, it is hoped that this open competition will serve as an active forum in which participants discuss how to overcome the relevant obstacles.
Competition theme is ‘Linking Seoul 100-year master plan with Green Network’. Participants can freely choose among 7 types (TYPE A ~ G). Rather than planning the whole of Seoul in a short time, it propose ideas centered on major urban spaces surrounded by nature, leaving the possibility of applying them to cities with similarities in the future.
