Seoul Urban Mountains - Exhibition

ChepChep-San-Jung: Seoul Urban Mountains was an exhibition contribution presented in 2023 at the Seoul Hall of Architecture & Urbanism. Conceived as a site-specific research installation, the project examined Seoul’s inner mountains as residual topographies embedded within the urban fabric. The exhibition featured selected research and drawings developed within the Inhabitable Territories course, alongside original mappings and spatial narratives. Together, these materials revealed unbuilt fragments as ecological buffers and lived landscapes shaped by everyday practices, proposing an alternative reading of urban form grounded in terrain, inhabitation, and the reciprocal relationship between natural systems and the city.
