Urban Regeneration
Yakryeong Market, Seoul, South Korea
Enriched with history, Yakryeong Market is the oldest standing herbal market in South Korea. However, like many other traditional places, the city development has posed a catalysing threat to the decay of the market.
Is there a way to revive this market that is otherwise gone?

*This project was selected to exhibit in Seoul Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism in 2019*
Note: we were initially assigned to work the team of three for the urban research and scheme, and later proceeded on individual architectural projects that involves the site regulations of 50% residential and 50% commercial space, in addition to the parking to total constructed area in the ratio of 1:15. Additionally, there should be some connections between each project within the team. Regardless, the studio places more focus on the urban scale.
