C3 no.441 (2026-1/6)
This issue presents a special focus on contemporary Korean architecture, exploring how architecture positions itself when confronted with powerful external conditions—vast natural landscapes, insistent topographies, and the long accumulation of time. Through six selected works, the issue examines architectural attitudes that do not compete with context, but instead locate themselves within it. Rather than covering over the past, these projects reveal it; rather than erecting rigid boundaries, they leave gaps and in-between spaces. When architecture is understood not as a fixed object, but as a structure shaped by time and flow, the ways in which life and sensory experience take hold become significantly richer.
The curated feature section turns to the 5th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. Under the theme “Radically More Human,” it follows the questions posed by the Biennale through its major exhibitions, alongside an in-depth interview with General Director Thomas Heatherwick. The section also introduces works by Korean participants in The Walls of Public Life, an exhibition that resonated strongly with audiences through its engagement with ordinary, lived experience.
