After being freshly appointed with the Golden Lion award at last year\u2019s Venice Architecture Biennale, South Korea has become one of the architecture scenes to keep an eye on. The politically ambitious project Crow\u2019s Eye View, presented at the Korean Pavilion in Venice, aimed to \u201ddemonstrate the potential of an unified Korea by bringing together and interrogating the architecture of both cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hypothetical reunification notwithstanding, South Korea certainly boasts a fair share of talent, as seen in \u201cOut of the Ordinary: Award-winning Works by Young Korean Architects<\/a>,\u201d on view through Saturday, February 28, at the Cass Bank gallery in London. Organized by pavilion co-curator Hyungmin Pai, the exhibition explores the recent radical changes to Korean built environment, and looks at how nine studios respond to new challenges and unconventional solutions in the face of global economic crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough opportunities for conventional, commercial, public, and institutional projects are no longer ample, new kinds of clients and projects have come on the scene,\u201d said Pai \u201cWe want to explore and celebrate the new creativity emerging from projects that are socially relevant, but extremely constrained in budget and space. Working without precedents, these young practices are changing the very nature of contemporary Korean architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Won Youmin, co-founder of JYA-RCHITECTS<\/a>, agrees that versatility is the essential trait for the young generation of architects. Similarly, WISE Architecture<\/a> investigates the extraordinary opportunities of otherwise ordinary materials, as seen in brickwork residential projects like the ABC House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Responding to data that suggests that the market for one-off private houses fast growing, LOKAL Design<\/a> \u201cmaximizes the minimal\u201d in the renovation of Buyeo Small House<\/a>: 24 sq.m. area, minimum budget and assembled in two weeks. Following the same principle, in the schools designed by IAEO Arkitekten, the architecture becomes \u201dArchifurniture\u201d: a single small-scale element that sets up the entire space.<\/p>\n

Chae-Pereira Architects<\/a>‘ projects, on the other hand, are \u201ccontext specific,\u201d reacting to the rapid development of Seoul in the last ten years, to the effect that that the context is becoming more abstract and aleatory. They describe the Chang Ucchin Museum in Yangju: \u201cScattered rooms, in a traditional pattern, would then be weld together to form a body, floating in a painting like landscape, with a mountain background. The shape of the building itself present the ambiguity of simultaneously being an animal figure, an abstract sign, a traditional house and a labyrinth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition concludes with the remodeling of Casa Geometrica<\/a> by JOHO Architecture<\/a>, who take a hybrid approach to geometry and materiality: \u201cMaterial-metry is a unit of material that reconfigures the principles and criteria of geometry,\u201d said the founder Jeonghoon Lee. \u201cGeometry is crystallized tension generated from the harmony and discord within the congestion of material. At the same time, it is a reasonable form that has commercial value and is part of building construction.”<\/p>\n
