Conflict and Innovation in the Museum
Presented by: Marina Otero, Director of Research at Het Nieuwe Instituut
The contemporary era is characterized by radical technological, economic, cultural and social shifts. In her talk, Marina Otero Verzier will present a series of projects grounded in the principles of design and innovation – two concepts bound up with changing value systems and conflict which in turn can become a motor for collective forms of knowledge and alternative forms of living.
2045 Seoul Urban Space Plan, Urban Constellation
Presented by: ZuKhyung Kim, Commissioner, Presidential Commission on Architecture Policy / OUJAE Architects
The lecture covers Future Seoul’s urban space in terms of initial topography, physical components, and place value with three agendas: daily scenery, approaching publicity, and colorful urban space. Through collaboration across various fields such as architecture, city, and landscape, the Urban Constellation is proposed as an integrated urban space plan.
