Architects explore urbanism, heritage and power at Deoksugung Palace in Seoul

‘Architecture and Heritage: Unearthing Future’ organised by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Seoul unites imaginative installations by five international architects at the historic Deoksugung PalaceIn the heart of Seoul there is always some peace to be found within the walls of one of the Five Grand Palaces, built during the Joseon dynasty to house the imperial families. Entering the ancient compounds is like stepping into another beautifully preserved era.

Curator Lee Jihoi enlisted the stellar group of architects – CL3, Bureau Spectacular, OBBA, Obra Architects, Space Popular – to envision ‘a new interpretation of the Korean Empire’s dream for future city on the brink of William Lim, founder and chief architect of CL3, designed a set of furniture on wheels for Gojong, the last King of Joseon and the first Emperor of Korea. Mixing cross-cultural references – the common push-cart seen in many Asian cities meets a Palanquin imperial carriage,-designed furniture meets traditional Korean furniture – the roving set features everything from a chaise lounge to a garden storage unit, and is fully equipped for an era of instability.
