Between Transformation and Evolution: Growth, Globalization, and People
Cities have been analyzed in historical and theoretical terms. There is a close relationship between urban society and formal and spatial con- figurations of cities in Korea. Urban form is not previous to the social phenomena. It is a product, it is built history. The city was redefined and built from scratch. Society would accommodate itself to its proposals, and it had to be persuaded to live within the new or old social formal context. During the past 30 years, urban change and transformation in Korea occurred at a very radical pace. Unlike European Cities, urban transformation and evolution seem to be an ongoing process in which strong interventions are involved in Korean Modern architecture. Buildings are not built one framework, they are a succession of frame- works over time; growth, globalization, people. In this sense, buildings in Korea can be read and understood from two perspectives: The first looks at buildings as a result of a continuous process, the other as a product of a certain moment in history.

Speculative Everything
Design is in a state of flux, mutating and evolving as it adjusts to the ever changing social, political, economic and technological landscape. Approaches and values that made sense before, perhaps do not always make sense today. One of the biggest challenges facing designers, is to re-design design itself to ensure it remains relevant and meaningful in these uncertain times.
Lack of dogma and orthodoxy, and the blurring of boundaries bet- ween disciplines, make it a very exciting time to be a designer, even if, with this new freedom comes some existential angst.
I offer no solutions, or even answers, but lots of questions, thoughts, ideas and possibilities, all expressed through the language of design. They probe our beliefs and values, challenge our assumptions, and encourage us to imagine how what we call ‘reality’ could be different. They help us see that the way things are now is just one possibility.
