C3 441 - Discovering Time in the Gaps Between Boundaries

As YuMi Hyun writes in the introduction to this issue's main feature: "When architecture is confronted with a powerful outside - sweeping landscapes, insistent topographies, the slow sediment of time - the real question is not what it can impose, but what stance the architect chooses to take." The six projects that follow choose not to compete with context, but to find their place within it. The magazine also covers the 5th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, with an interview with Thomas Heatherwick and profiles on the topographical investigation "Seoul Scape" by SOSU Architects, the analysis and deconstruction "Juliet Balcony" by Moreless Architects, and more.
