Our Studio we will begin by studying the Hanok, the traditional Korean Home, considered in relation to its surroundings, land and seasons. We will see how House and Garden are an extension of habit, habitus, habitat, a sheltering within the genus loci. These dwellings are like instruments able to adjust to occupation, place, climate and culture, and that with material fitness and celebratory economy, sit beautifully, between necessity and expression; between day and night, seasons, dearth and abundance, occupation and preservation, gender and generations. We understand a history of dwelling in these well-structured places and from them abstract elements that could contribute to the design for the Modern Korean Home.
We will travel to Seoul to present our Hanok work and to research past and present housing. We will move toward the contemporary condition by studying the changing housing types of Seoul.
