Architecture starts from a longing for certain places. The utopian imagination that dreams of a better place is the driving force of architecture. Historically utopia provided an alternative to overcome reality in architecture as well. This was maximized through the vision of architects who strived to create new modernized cities after the World Wars. Throughout the nooks and crannies of Korea, which had to reconstruct everything from scratch, this utopian method of experiment was implemented in a bizarre way at an extremely rapid pace. Architects and politicians were all in the same boat, heading toward the ideals for developing the country anew. Some 60 years later, now that we are in the "era of diminished expectations" where desires for countless things are emasculated, how is the utopia conceived by our own architecture work? With what form and content will 'Architopia' be filled, born as an ideal for the architects? These are the questions being posed to initiate this exhibition.
