[2/3] Finding a Sense of Unity in Korea: Culture

This article is part of a research series which will help fund my site visit trip to South Korea. These posts relate to relevant issues or precedents where I can apply their concepts and ideas to my thesis proposal regarding an ethereal impact on a physical space. The funding project can be found on Hive account@fundition 's website.

As I continue my research for my thesis proposal, I had hit a roadblock when dealing with the architectural aspect of the proposal. In order to have a greater understanding of the existing facilities between North and South Korea, I did some “horizontal” scaled research, where I looked at a myriad of different facilities and split them into different categories, and compared them in scale, and how similar they were to the opposing side of Korea.

The Search Continues…

Last week I worked on precedents involving the cultural centers that currently exist in both North and South Korea, where I looked into what kind of architectural elements these facilities had versus how cultural exchange can be facilitated between both sides. Today I focused on the concert halls or theaters, and how a theater space is interpreted in South Korea vs. North Korea.
