Architectural sketches on building fences in Seoul.
These often huge, tall and white plastic panel walls can be found all over South Korea in vast quantities. Like stoic soldiers they guard abandoned construction pits of failed investment projects. They are part of the cityscape. Residents stick their advertisements and pamphlets on these walls and over time, all that’s left are these gaffer tape pieces.

The title of the work is a clear reference to Le Corbusier‘s Ville Radieuse, the unrealised urban design project, which consists of a  lack of human scale and connection to its surroundings.
