Description

This study tour takes students through daily walking tours of Seoul where they explore the different urban block types to gain an understanding of how this megacity is structured and organised. Students are exposed to architecture, landscape, interiors, and urban spaces of the Joseon Dynasty, Daehan Empire, Japanese Colonial Period, Industrial Period, Global Capital period and Cultural Capital period. There are visits to museums, galleries, palaces, gardens, shops, as well as architecture offices like Mass Studies, Systems Lab, SoA, PRAUD, Daniel Valle Architects, Dojin Hwang, among others. The tour is complemented by a one-day trip outside Seoul to Sayuwon. There are an assigned reading, and a lecture to contextualise the tour, and students are assessed through a presentation of a typological case study (his might occur at DOMANSA with invited guests). Through the walking tours students are able to experience the different cultural dimensions that make up Seoul (food, fashion, crafts, history, and design).
