Paradoxically, the historical legacy of Korean housing is both heroic and mundane. Until recently, the nation’s rapid urbanisation fuelled the creation of new regions of high-density dwellings, while cycles of urban renewal continue to push the radical disjunction between new and historical fabrics.

Summary:
Paradoxically, the historical legacy of Korean housing is both heroic and mundane. Until recently, the nation’s rapid urbanisation fuelled the creation of new regions of high-density dwellings, while cycles of urban renewal continue to push the radical disjunction between new and historical fabrics. Yet the ongoing impasse between developmental pressures and design progress has reduced housing to its basic elements. A current wave of architects has begun formulating new, efficient syntaxes with nuanced social qualities. While the works in this volume represent unique solutions, what we can learn from their innovations goes far further, towards making conscious typological advances.

At the same time, the population is tending to retreat into its own four walls.

Summary:
Cell phones and E-mail, home shopping and the Internet - "old" industrial societies have been turning into globally connected information societies on the sly. At the same time, the population is tending to retreat into its own four walls. Yet - or maybe for this reason - public urban spaces are becoming more and more important, having lost none of their significance as interfaces of human communication. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the thirtieth anniversary of the Bremen program for public art. It features over thirty artists who have confronted urban and social aspects of the city and developed their own personal visions, utopias and fantasies of a life in and with the city. Artists featured: Kim Adams, Louise Bourgeois, Stephen Craig, Bogomir Ecker, Olafur Eliasson, Ayse Erkmen, Isa Genzken, Dorothee Golz, Wiebke Grösch/Frank Metzger, Hans Haacke, Rudolf Herz, Stephan Huber, Rolf Julius, Emilia und Ilya Kabakov, Andree Korpys/Markus Löffler, Mischa Kuball, Atelier Van Lieshout, M+M, Joachim Manz, Olaf Nicolai, Julian Opie, Panamarenko, Hermann Pitz, Marjetica Potrc, Tobias Rehberger, Thomas Ruff/Florian Baudrexel/Jens Ullrich, Roman Signer, Bert Theis, herman de vries, Wolfgang Winter/Berthold Hörbelt
