Topic: Design and Scale: Does Size Matter?

Lecture: 2012 Sino-Korean Architects Forum 
December 19, 2012






Minsuk Cho is an invited guest speaker at the 2012 Sino-Korean Architects Forum.

“Over the past forty years, with the combined efforts of three generations of native architects, South Korea has gradually gained its own architectural identity with international recognition. Meanwhile, experiencing the same high speed economic development, Chinese architects have started to notice the achievement of Korea's construction, and have tried to learn more from Korean peers. Though both countries have cultural, aesthetic and technical similarities, a systematic comparative study on contemporary Korean architects has long been absence.

The forum alms to introduce architecture and architects in South Korea, and demonstrate their diversity to their Chinese counterparts. Through debates among architects, the forum would be an opportunity to probe into the developing history of the contemporary Korean architecture and the influence it has brought to the overall Asian architecture.” 2012 Sino-Korean Architects Forum

Lecture: Forum & Forum 2012 Architect Series #1 
September 25, 2012



포럼앤포럼은 지난 3월과 6월, 올해를 관통하는 주제인 ‘건축의 비건축, 비건축의 건축’을 가지고 건축, 도시, 디자인, 현대미술, 패션, 영화 등 다양한 분야와 서로 이야기를 나누어왔습니다. 그리고 이번 9월에는 건축에 좀 더 초점을 맞추어 ‘포럼앤포럼 건축가시리즈’를 마련하였습니다.

그 첫 번째 시간으로, 서로 매우 다른 성격의 작업을 보여주고 있는 조병수 소장(Bcho Architects)과 조민석 소장(Mass Studies)을 초대해 각각 ‘경험과 인식’, ‘발견과 발명’이라는 키워드를 토대로 두 건축가의 작업에 숨어있는 건축적 혹은 비건축적인 고민의 흔적을 풀어낼 계획입니다.

건축가의 개별 프로젝트에 대한 이야기나 전문가의 리뷰를 통한 글은 여러 매체에서 어렵지 않게 찾아볼 수 있습니다. 하지만 같은 공간과 시간을 살면서 이만큼 상이한 작업을 하는 건축가들의 이야기를 한 자리에서 듣고 직접 나누는 기회는 갖기 어려운 것 같습니다. ‘포럼앤포럼 건축가시리즈’ 그 첫 번째 시간에는 한국적 감수성을 잘 보여주는 조병수 건축가와 무한한 상상력으로 기존의 틀을 깨는 조민석 건축가를 모시고 이들이 충돌하고 만나는 지점을 통해 ‘지금, 여기’의 건축의 모습, 그리고 관객으로 참여하는 ‘우리’의 모습도 되짚어 보는 기회가 되길 바랍니다.

- 일시 : 2012. 9. 25. 화요일 7:00PM ~ 9:30PM
- 장소 : 이화여자대학교 LG컨벤션센터
- 주최 : 정림건축문화재단, 이화여자대학교 건축학과, 연세대학교 건축공학과
- 기타 : 홈페이지 선착순 등록 (2012. 9. 17 월요일 낮 12시부터). 참가비 10,000원. 식음료 제공
