The installation Humanise Wall, represents a large-scale Jogakbo tapestry, stitching together the experience and ideas of Seoul’s citizens alongside international designers. It represents an approximately 90m long, 16m high wall full of reflections, provocations and ideas. The wall has two clear sides with information―one for reflections, the other for proposals. This shows the Seoul of today and tomorrow.
The installation takes these ideas and literally twists them together, creating a wall full of artworks that twists in mid-air to create a canopied gathering space before completing the twist that meets at the ground again.

The 24 wall structures presented in this exhibition demonstrate various methods of creating the essential “visual complexity” in facade design. They actively use diverse materials, textures, and patterns to explore how intentional decorative elements play a crucial role in building facades. As a collection, the walls suggest the emotions that building facades evoke in us and propose ways for buildings to resonate more emotionally and be more engaging.
