Reworld

Reworld pavilion is built from thousands of physical portals that transform the city into versions of Seoul 100 years from now. These physical renderings are co-imagined by the participating architects of the 4th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, and an AI image generator that creates refracted mosaics using the physical city surrounding the installation. The pavilion remixes the city, creating new relationships between the built environment, various biomatter, the atmosphere and the ground.

The pavilion considers the role of an architecture biennale as a situation of image exchange, where future imaginations are handled and manipulated in the form of rendered images. These images shape the aspirations of the city’s citizens and determine the relationship between the city’s past and future. The Reworld Pavilion is an alternative technique for handling these images, offering up the physical city itself as a malleable material upon which we can form our imagination.
