type _Branding with Landscape

year _ 2025 Completion

Contemporary landscape architecture is an imaginative process that transforms the identity of nature into a new illusion. People consume and possess, constantly desiring what is new and seeking the energy of tomorrow in the absence of boredom. Designers observe the cycles of nature, reflect on space, and discover new attitudes that must go beyond the conventional agreements of society.
Signature Landscape is a project built with a humble mindset to cultivate imagination and a creative idea aimed at offering new landscapes inspired by nature. The primordial landscape is reproduced as a refined image, and an alternative nature is staged on a platform. Sensation is once again consumed as illusion, recirculated as impulse, and will eventually fade as a volatile memory.

type _Children’s Garden
year _2025 Completion

A garden for children. Color and imagination, a sense of depth, and layers of landscape. The language of adults becomes expression, and the diverse perspectives of children bring flexible energy to the space. There are moments between adults who do not like children and children whose thoughts remain unreadable to designers.
Light flies in, flowers blur and spread, birds quietly blend in, and the space begins to shine. In the harmony of creation, nature’s foundation sets the rhythm, and the children’s garden sparkles above the floating buds of alliums. Time creates memories, and the cycle of seasons completes the symphony.

type _Social Plaza
year _2025 Completion

Autumn in the plaza deepens into blue, while dark fallen leaves cast their shadows. Under the sky, people sharing time come and go—sharing daily lives, enjoying the light, facing the garden, and breathing out the essence of the plaza. Open and flexible, the space expands and contracts; it empties as it fills, transforming park into garden, garden into plaza, and plaza into time, reshaping itself once more.
Thus, a year fades, and the season of cycles arrives. To design a plaza for the public implies acknowledging this flow of time, without impatience, and gazing upon others with a quiet detachment.

type _2025 Seoul International Garden Show
year _2025 Completion

After the era of ideology, people became overwhelmed with thoughts and confused by their sense of self-determination, leading to the disappearance of values. Establishing new relationships between oneself and others may be more difficult than calculus and perhaps even impossible. Social customs related to community began as a means to increase productivity in agricultural cultures, later serving to justify labor exploitation under capitalism and to manipulate public opinion by simplifying it through political distraction. Is it truly necessary to have a space for everyone in a beautiful garden? The belief that relationships are beautiful might be a conditioned religious duty. Pavlović took on the role of a clown and mocked the nobles around him, a recurring figure of envy during times when social customs began to fall apart.

type _2023 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism
year _2023 Work in Progress

The city is, in truth, an abstract concept, yet it is a cliché term often consumed like a carbonated drink in academic discourse. People speak of the future while consuming the present, confess love while concealing desire. Perhaps the reason for holding a biennale in 2023 about the global crisis and discussing global warming and rising sea levels lies in the undeniable sense of urgency that surpasses doubt.
Cities are losing their resilience. Architects have long forgotten their critical responsibility. Whether the aim is to build a pavilion to discuss specificity with collective intelligence and passion, or to host a feast for the sake of cultural amusement, one could argue that the joy of elegant contemplation might be more important than rising sea levels.
