This competition addresses the ubiquitous and sustainable city life of the future. Seoul is changing and developing quite rapidly and the citizens of Seoul are realizing the advantages of this change through constructing new subway lines, repairing road systems, implementing a new bus line system, designing new contemporary buildings, and creating more green parks around the city. Korea’s capital is making a tremendous effort to change its landscape from one that’s plain and practical to one that is environmentally -friendly and is a convenient place to live. The objectives of the competition include: identifying new design opportunities for the sustainable city life, addressing the design discourse and exploration for the living design, that breathes with nature’s five elements: air, water, light, wind, and earth, and seeking creative design solutions to be applied to future city design projects. Categories include: urban environment, visual communication, industrial design, and other designs. Contact EunSook Kwon, Director General, Seoul Design Olympiad 2008, “designseoul AT seoul.go.kr”.
