1. How do you define the main issue of your project in relation with the theme “Living Cities Imagining architecture taking care of the milieus”? And in which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution?
Being alive presupposes survival, and the basis of survival is living together. This work is the result of imagining how the diversity of the past, present, and future can coexist and live together. We also aim to create various figures and perspectives in an environmentally friendly and rational way that makes the most of the existing environment.
2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The main problem of this abandoned site is that it is a one-dimensional and disconnected from the surrounding context, whether human or building. In response, we specifically set up and arranged various users and programs, and connected the past and future of the site in a way that respects the existing context.
PROJECT:
My main reference is my past life in South Korea, where housing(apartment) is demolished and rebuilt every 2-30 years. Based on this, my master's thesis proposed the sustainability of the oldest apartment building in Seoul through various forms, and my submission for the 2021 Seoul Architecture and Urbanism Biennale imagined the disappearance and regeneration of abandoned area in Berlin.
SITE:
First of all, the site emphasizes feasibility above all else, and our focus was to implement it in a reasonable way. Also, many of the ideas proposed are partially feasible, which allows for flexibility.
REFERENCES:
Due to the nature of the competitions, we prioritized members who have been working together a lot, rather than looking for new members to quickly fix the direction of the idea and produce a lot of materials.
6. How could this prize help you in your professional career?
It is important to be qualified to accomplish something. I think this will work as a qualification to achieve something else.

Has your team, together or separately, already conceived or implemented some projects and/or won any competition? if so, which ones?
We are deeply interested in exploring the fundamentals of decoration and the social demands of what makes it acceptable in Architecture. With this dogma, we have worked on three different scales: buildings, interiors, and furniture, using proportion as the basis for decoration.
