City As Verb Wednesday Seminars

City as Verb Wednesday Seminars Overview
» Youtube live stream: www.youtube.com/seoulbiennale/live
» More info: Seoul Hall of Architecture & Urbanism

The ‘City as Verb’ seminars hosted by the City of Seoul will be an important bridge between the 2019 Seoul Biennale Cities Exhibition and its upcoming continuation in 2021. In close partnership with the French, Netherlands, and Swiss embassies, this four-part series of public presentations will launch on 15 July and continue every Wednesday for one month. The purpose of the events is twofold: First to expand the important dialogue between Seoul and its global partner cities on issues of urbanism and citizen engagement, and secondly to reach a wider audience of Korean government officials, citizens, and community stakeholders. Global experts will join virtually to share insight on how their city is creatively addressing emerging urban issues. Afterwards, they will engage a panel of local experts to explore commonalities and contrasts. The events will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Korean.

Reinventing Paris, Co-building the City
Lecture by: Alexandre Labasse | director, Pavillon de l’Arsenal

The “Reinventing Paris” competition rewarded 22 innovative urban and architectural projects in Greater Paris, which have in common the integration of hybrid buildings and green spaces. These winning projects represent many models of the city of the future in terms of architectural design, new attitudes about programming, environmental innovation, and co-construction. The projects were presented as part of the “Reinventing Paris” exhibition at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal. Inherent to its conception, “Reinventing Paris” calls for projects that integrate two ecosystems which correspond to two different temporalities: On the one hand, town planning and construction, and on the other hand, everyday life and the needs of users. Each project is a meeting point between these two ecosystems and carries an innovative vision of the city: new ways of living and working, the advent of the circular economy, the digital revolution, new modes of construction… “Reinvent Paris” demonstrates the capital’s capacity for transformation, innovation and the avant-garde.

Lecture 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.

Looking forward to the opening talk and exhibition Looking forward to the opening talk and exhibition of HaaS @domansa_ this Thursday, 12 Jan at 7pm. : HaaS was initiated and curated by LG Space Research Institute directed by Jeeyong An. The research looks at the future modular smart home with proposals by @praud_official, @studioheech, and P:A. : The exhibit will open with a conversation moderated by @ken.sungjin.min_architect with the participating architects and the original HaaS project curator, Jeeyong An. : P:A's #umwelthouse: A smart house can exist in both real and virtual dimensions. Already tethered to the internet, we propose taking the next step in bringing it alive. It is the next evolution of our ‘umwelt’ (our collective experience of the world through our five senses). When we are there, we can enjoy the particular beauties of its exact location. But when we’re not, we can still be ‘there’ to experience and share the wind, smells, textures, views, and sounds through the next generation of IoT technologies… : #lg경영연구원 #LGspaceresearch #lifesgood #praud #studioheech #projectarchitecture #domansa #haas #homeasaservice #architectureexhibition

Thanks to @tbs_lifeabroad for featuring our design Thanks to @tbs_lifeabroad for featuring our design for the Dulwich College Seoul Primary School Library. I've been a big fan of Rah Seungyun's show, a privilege to be on it! >link in bio: https://youtu.be/gtirktB8ykM : #REPOST @dulwichcollegeseoul Our Head of Primary School Mrs Jane Smith had a great time speaking about our award-winning Primary School library, the Inquiry Hub with our architect SNU Professor John Hong on the TBS eFM English-language radio show, “Life Abroad” today. Mrs Smith spoke about the prestigious AIA International Region Award won by Professor Hong for the Hub’s innovative and sustainable design that fosters students’ love of learning. She conveyed how the space reflects our inquiry-based learning philosophy, how she’s observed an increase in number of students coming into the space even outside of official hours and students being inspired to take on more leadership roles within the space. For example, Junior Librarians now run a number of lunchtime activities, such as craft, coding, chess and game clubs. Professor John Hong, who designed the Inquiry Hub, spoke about how his design implements the idea of ‘interior urbanism’ that aims to create spaces that are an abstraction of a city, encouraging creative learning and play. Please find a recorded livestream of the show on our bio to learn more about our Inquiry Hub and the AIA Award and distribute widely! #tbs #lifeabroad #tbsefmradio #inquirylearning #inquiryhub #aiaawards #aiainternationalregion #architecture #inquirybasedlearning #librarydesign #childrenslibrary #rahseungyun
