Experimentation study of urbanization in South Korea.

Study of urbanization through making a book that shows the changes of urbanization by contrast of the old city with the new city. With a conducted study of urbanization that is executed into an installation that shows the middle ground of urbanization in South Korea.

The works provide and give an identity to space that went through a change from the 1960’s to the present time.

Looking at how Gentrification makes Korea lose its identity in historical landmarks as Korea gets globalized more and gets into a developed city, what would the city identity look like?

How can a space be translated into a poster and a book that shows the history of a place that could be seen as a graphic design piece.
