PennDesign will host a visit by a team from Seoul National University (SNU) on Wednesday and Thursday, November 8 and 9. Led by SNU Associate Professor John Hong, AIA, architecture students from SNU will present their research and design work based in Seoul, Korea. This visit is part of a collaboration between SNU and PennDesign MArch students who are enrolled in the fall elective studio of Associate Professor Simon Kim.
The ongoing collaboration also produced a body of scholarship on the post-anthropocentric city that is currently on display at the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. New and shared models and types of occupancy, post-industry, and conservancy are offered and explored. Read more about the exhibition here.
The PennDesign-SNU studios are supported by Heerim Architects and Planners, a global leader in architecture and construction. Offering services and specializations within architecture, master planning, and construction management, Heerim is led by alumnus (MArch’89) Young Kyoon Jeong, CEO and Chair of the Board. Mr. Jeong, who has an undergraduate degree in architecture and an MArch from SNU, as well as an MArch from PennDesign, has generously sponsored the joint studio of both institutions.
The review will be in the Upper Gallery, Meyerson Hall, from 1:00pm - 6:00pm, on Wednesday, November 8. All are welcome.
