Seoul Metropolitan Government regularly operates ‘One-day Architecture Academy’ to visit ‘Nodeul Global Art Island’

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 4th that it will regularly operate the 'One-Day Architecture Academy' once a month to examine the design and construction process of 'Nodeul Global Art Island' on site.

Nodeul Global Art Island is a project to create Nodeul Island as a space where nature, art, and culture come together based on world-renowned architectural designer Thomas Heatherwick's contest winning work 'Soundscape'.

The academy consists of lectures and field tours by field design and supervision experts.

The designer explains the process of concretizing the space concept into an actual design and the practical concerns, and tours the site with a supervising expert to see how the design is implemented during the construction process.

In odd-numbered months, we cover more specialized content for college students interested in architecture and cities, and in even-numbered months, we run programs that are easy for the general public to understand.

The city decided to increase the number of people to 50, as 55 people participated in two pilot runs in August and September, and interest was so great that 30 people were recruited for each round early. The operating period will also be extended from the end of this year to next year.

Participation fee is free, and you can check the schedule and apply on the Seoul Public Service Reservation website.

Daehee Ahn, Director of Future Space Planning at Seoul Metropolitan Government, said, "Nodeul Global Art Island is a project being created by world-class architects and domestic design and construction experts. We will operate it so that people can imagine the future of Nodeul Island together by seeing and experiencing the actual space being created."
