Magok Competition team discussion

Since about 1 month ago, I have been going for a competition team discussion every Sunday afternoon. The group is made up of 6 people currently, coming from 4 different offices and from 3 different disciplines; 4 Koreans, 1 Taiwanese and 1 Singaporean (me!).

The competition is to design a new vision for this place called Magok in Korea. It is near the Han River. Pretty intense discussions. I appreciate a lot the open exchanges of ideas even though most of us do not know each other till only a few weeks ago. Hopefully, it will be a truly collaborative effort. Been most interesting to see how architects, landscape designers, urban designers get together, outside of their own office work and schedule to do interesting stuff out of pure passion and interest.

Here are some photos of our previous discussion session.





We gathered at the office of Sang, who's the team leader. He owns a private 1-man office called UN Architects which he passionately operates whenever outside of the official hours of his main job. Which means, he goes to the UN Architects office at nights and weekends!
