seoul home to 10 million people, quarter of population lives here?
rapid industrialization under Park Jung-Hee president, tear down the old and build new towers
4 ancient doors still present, one burned down (no.1 national treasure)
zaha hadid tearing down old baseball stadium used for 88 seoul olympics (symbolic?), which houses the antique market
hasty to bring star-chitects to change over the city.
urban and civil planning key concept in designing seoul (14th century)- royal palaces, and 4 main gateways still remain in the middle of city centers
so many centers- no parallel city - the city never sleeps
ex) NYC- meat packing, chelsea, Korea town??
Boston- none ??
Tokyo- Shinjuku, Odaiba, Harajuku, Ginza
Seoul- 종로, 압구정동, 청담동, 명동, 신촌, 홍대, 동대문, 남대문, 강남역....etc
so many nodes of cultural activity
anyways
the places that Korean culture/architecture is being preserved:
가희동, 인사동?
the site is in 가희동, a small town near the North Mountain (북한산), north of the Han River
trend in residential houses to be built in a fusion of traditional style on the exterior, and contemporary interior
star-chitects with Asian architecture influence?- FLW?
What's difference between Chinese, Japanese, Korean architecture?
Chinese- grandest scale
Japanese- 아기자기
Korean- ? meep
