Architecture: Seoul Brutalist Revival<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Let’s take a look at this architecture series by photographer Raphael Olivier about the booming scene of the architecture growth in Seoul, Korea. After horrific events that happened about half of a five decades ago, the city has been rebuilding their foundation and structure to offer us a world-class urban design with concrete, shapes and bold angles that made Seoul, the world’s fastest developing city.<\/p>\n

Published on Behance<\/a> is the work from Raphael Olivier. Raphael is a photographer based in Singapore, you should definitely check out his portfolio<\/a>. It’s filled with a wide range of styles of photography from portrait and case studies.<\/p>\n

Seoul, capital of South Korea, has a history of 2000 years but was heavily bombed during the Korean War (1950 – 1953) and mostly left in ruins.<\/p>\n

From the 1960’s, the reconstruction of the country, led by former president Park Chung-hee, was marked by rapid economic growth and industrial development. Seoul became a major economic powerhouse and its population grew exponentially, while its urban landscape was shaped by notoriously boring public housing.<\/p>\n

However, in the past decade the city has been quickly reinventing itself as a super trendy capital and creative urban center with world-class design and architecture. One of the most noticeable trends in construction is a massive revival of brutalist-style architecture, refined with a modern twist. Whether for residential, commercial, institutional or religious buildings, the use of raw concrete, bold shapes and sharp angles is becoming predominant all around the city. Through a personal study on Neo-Brutalism, this photo essay aims to give a small glimpse onto the booming architectural scene of Seoul, one of the world’s fastest developing city and Asia’s rising stars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
