The 2019 Seoul Biennale of Architecture & Urbanism will open its doors to the public this Saturday, September 7th. The event will be held in several venues across the city of Seoul, including Zaha Hadid Architects’ Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
The Seoul Biennale first took place in 2017 and has been finding its own place in the international architectural scene for bringing valuable themes and discussions into today’s architecture and urbanism agenda. This year’s Biennale, directed by Jaeyong Lim and Francisco Sanin, under the main theme “Collective City,” will present thorough research and debate on the future of cities around the world.
"The 2019 edition aims to create a space for communication and engagement of the public in the creation and transformation of their cities, and to develop new collective strategies of participation and empowerment in the socio-urban dynamics of the city. The biennale will serve as a global platform in urban architecture to share experiences of global cities and to explore innovative responses to their multiple challenges."
