Kookmin University College of Architecture Hosts Its 51st Graduation Exhibition, “HETERO FUTURE”
- 26.06.10 / 홍유민
Proposing Architectural Imagination for a “Different Future” Amid AI, the Climate Crisis, and Social Change
The College of Architecture at Kookmin University will hold its 51st Graduation Exhibition, titled “HETERO FUTURE,” at the Maru Art Center in Insadong, Seoul, from June 17 (opening at 3:00 PM) through June 22. This exhibition was conceived to explore the possibilities of a new future that architecture can propose amid an era of rapid transformation, including advancements in AI, the climate crisis, and changes in social structures.
“Hetero Future” refers to a pluralistic future where diverse values and possibilities coexist, rather than a future that converges on a single correct answer. Starting from Michel Foucault’s concept of “Heterotopia,” the exhibition explores the possibility of “other spaces” that transcend fixed perceptions of existing orders, institutions, and spaces. Through this, it proposes architecture as a practice for reflecting on changes in future society and imagining new environments.
Graduating seniors and fourth-year students from the College of Architecture reinterpret the role of architecture within conditions where humans and technology, nature and the city, and reality and the virtual intersect, presenting diverse spatial alternatives. Based on a critical awareness of changing society and the environment, the exhibited works explore new relationships, lifestyles, and the possibilities of cities and architecture, showcasing the multifaceted visions of the future that architecture can propose.
