AAVS Seoul 2025 explores “Compressed City Seoul” by examining the heterogeneous and diverse urban conditions shaped through the city’s rapid transformation. Responding to the loss of Seoul’s specificity caused by homogenisation, the programme investigates how architecture can engage with processes of mutation and variation as a critical method for urban revaluation.

AAVS 서울 2025는 ‘압축도시 서울’을 주제로, 서울이 겪어온 도시 변화속에서 드러난 이질성과 다양성이 만들어낸 복합적인 도시 공간을 살펴봅니다. 획일화 속에서 사라져가는 서울만의 특별함에 주목하며, 도시의 변형과 변이에 건축적으로 개입해 다양한 관점으로 그 가치를 재발견하고 진화 가능성을 탐구합니다.

We are thrilled to introduce our first guest keynote lecturer: Saul Kim. He will deliver his keynote lecture, titled , on 7 July as part of AAVS Seoul 2025.

Saul Kim is an architectural designer and educator whose work redefines conventional boundaries through his experimental research platform, Architecture Anomaly. Rooted in Object-Oriented Ontology, his design approach treats architectural forms, space, and time as autonomous entities, leading to compositions that challenge traditional functionality and provoke new spatial interpretations. Architecture Anomaly has been featured in numerous publications and exhibitions, earning recognition for its visionary approach.

Through his studio, Saul participates in international conceptual design projects across the U.S., Canada, Korea, and Ukraine. In Korea, his unique model involves providing conceptual frameworks while collaborating with local architects for implementation—bridging global vision with regional ex*****on.

Equally dedicated to education, Saul has lectured at institutions such as RISD, Pratt Institute, and the National University of Singapore. As an adjunct professor at Kaywon University of Art and Design, and through his Domestika courses taken by over 4,000 students, he emphasizes developing creativity through practice and critical thinking. His teaching cultivates individual design voices and fosters diverse creative expression, influenced by insights gained from global pedagogical systems.

UNIT 4: Decompressed City Seoul
Doyeon Cho + Junebum Park

In response to this year’s AAVS Seoul theme, Compressed City Seoul, Unit 4 will investigate how architectural compression manifests architecturally through the lens of rituals. The unit aims to uncover how both traditional and modern rituals in Korea have shaped, transformed, and invented compressed spatial conditions in Seoul. Based on this research, students will eventually be invited to propose alternative futures that envision decompressed environments for rituals.

You also can check other unit's brief through the link in Bio!

올해 AAVS 서울의 주제인 ‘압축도시 서울(Compressed City Seoul)’에 대응하여, 유닛 4는 의례(ritual)의 관점을 통해 건축적 압축이 공간적으로 어떻게 드러나는지를 탐구합니다. 이 유닛은 한국의 전통 및 현대 의례가 서울의 압축된 공간 조건을 어떻게 형성하고, 변화시키며, 새롭게 발명해왔는지를 밝혀내는 것을 목표로 합니다. 이러한 연구를 바탕으로, 참가자들은 의례를 위한 탈압축된(decompressed) 공간 환경을 상상하고 제안하는 대안적 미래를 구상하게 됩니다.
