The 4th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism calls for a reshaping of Seoul into a city that is once again connected to its natural environment. To embrace both the traditional and modern, Seoul city has seen a rise to haphazard changes through large, fragmented developments, creating a disconnect between the city, its inhabitants and the beautiful natural environment. Instead of more new developments, we envision an eco-friendly, high-density smart city that approaches the future through adaptive reuse of existing structures. We propose an organic, adaptable framework for development that seeks to connect tradition with contemporary principles for a more resilient & flexible city, reconnecting man and nature.
