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).
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
| 1. | Comprehend the urban history of Seoul from 1364 to the present and its different architectural typologies. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Identify the different typologies that make up Seoul. |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes to the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Recognise and appreciate local and global cultural diversities and values (A.2)
- Communicate ideas professionally and effectively through a variety of mediums: oral, written, visual, physical and digital (C.2)
- Produce inspirational responses that demonstrate the successful integration of sub-disciplinary areas of knowledge: history, theory, tectonics and/or practice (I.1)
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:
C = communication and groupwork
A = attitudes and values
P = practical and professional
R = research and critique
I = innovation and creativity
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).
Teaching and learning strategies
Teaching will be done through a series of 1hr lectures and 2hr field trips.
Content (topics)
-Typological Urbanism
-Architectural Islands
-Interior Urbanism
-Linear Cities
