Terrain Work Featured in Seoul Biennale

Terrain Work with The New York 8 (Terrain Work, MMK+, Strange Works, Emergent Studio, and Dong-Sei Kim) Productive Han-Ga-Ram is currently being exhibited in the 2023 Seoul Biennale. The proposal was selected through an international competition for ideas to help imagine the future of Seoul for the next 100 years.

Our proposal, Productive Han-Ga-Ram, reimagines the Han River as Seoul's central public space by transforming its thirty bridges and its riverfronts into a collective green network. The existing bridges and the waterfronts will be gradually transformed into a productive and performative public infrastructure. This phased process will bring about a series of pedestrian-oriented platforms and spaces where energy is produced, and air and water are filtered. Productive Han-Ga-Ram amplifies Han River's ecological potential to trigger a series of sociopolitical transformations for Seoul's next 100 years. To learn more about our proposal click here.

Terrain Work Receives Honorable Mention in Incheon Geodam International Competition

Terrain Work’s proposal “An Ecology of Knowledge and Culture” was recently awarded Honorable Mention for the Incheon Geomdan Museum Library Complex Cultural Facility International Design Competition. The proposal, in collaboration with Strange Works Studio and Emergent Studio, was inspired by the Korean landscape spanning from the Mountains to the Sea. The proposed landscape reveals the complex and diverse ecotonal landscapes that exist within the Korean Peninsula. It also mediates between repositories for three distinct forms of information – the library (recorded information), the museum (cultural objects embedded with information), and the landscape (biological information), allowing residents to engage with Incheon Geomdan’s intellectual, historical, and biological history.
