A Drawn Game: Unexpected city Part 1 Project 2025 Dahyeon Kang Korea National University of Arts | South Korea Buheung Housing, built in 1957 to shelter refugees and rural migrants after the Korean War, was one of Seoul’s first large-scale housing solutions. Made with minimal standards using foreign aid, the small homes were gradually modified by residents, leaving behind layers of informal changes.This project proposes a backbone structure and adds a new phase to that ongoing transformation—a step in the same process through which residents once expanded their living spaces. It keeps a 50:50 balance between old and new houses, and between existing and new residents, in order to respect those past changes. Some original homes are preserved, while others are adjusted—walls removed or added—to suit smaller households. Functions that don’t fit into private homes are moved into shared public spaces.Instead of replacing everything, the proposal continues the story of adaptation. It rejects the uniform, high-rise model driven by capital, and imagines a different future for low-rise neighborhoods shaped over time. With shared infrastructure, flexible grid layouts, and new interpretations of walls and boundaries, the project offers a renewed way of living together—one that values the past, meets present needs, and allows for future change.
