Museum Director, Prof. Jeon Bonghee / Exhibit Curator, Prof. Yerin Kang
Project : Architecture’s Devious Topographies is included in The Future We Have Drawn: 100 Years of Modern Architecture in Korea, an exhibition that reflects on a century of architectural production by graduates and faculty of Seoul National University.
The exhibition traces the evolution of Korean modern architecture from the first graduating class of Gyeongseong Technical College in 1919—the former name of SNU’s Department of Architecture—to the visionary educators teaching at the department today. Its title, The Future We Have Drawn, emphasizes architecture’s essential role as a discipline that projects ideas forward through drawings, plans, and speculative thinking.
