International Design Competition for Korean Museum of Urbanism and Architecture

Güney Kore'de düzenlenecek olan iki aşamalı uluslararası tasarım yarışması "Korean Museum of Urbanism and Architecture" için son kayıt tarihi 7 Ağustos.

Context and Objectives

The Korean Museum of Urbanism and Architecture (KMUA) aims to become a center of archive, exhibition, education, and research for urbanism and architecture. KMUA will also serve as a promoter of cultural awareness in urbanism and architecture for the general public, with goals of contributing to the betterment of the nation’s urbanism and architecture by establishing a national identity for Korea’s architecture and cities.

KMUA parts from collection-centered museums of the past and moves toward a new direction of a “dynamic museum” that can sustain evolution and growth by accumulating and producing various contents through linking its archive, exhibition, education and research activities.

The purpose of this international competition is to select the best architectural design for the establishment of the Korean Museum of Urbanism and Architecture, making it Korea’s representative institution for urbanism, architecture, and their public discourse.
