emulsion |iˈməl sh ən|

emulsion |iˈməl sh ən|nounfine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble or miscible.ORIGIN early 17th cent. (denoting a milky liquid made by crushing almonds in water): from modern Latin emulsio(n-), from the verbemulgere milk out,’ from e- (variant of ex-) ‘out’ mulgere ‘tomilk.’
The humble brick, each one unique and each one with a story. They are the emulsifying droplets for the promenade proposal. Koreans create a wide variety of bricks, glazed, burnt, patterned and organic. Bricks will form the rainscreen for my intervention when necessary. The wall of rainscreen can play with this variety of form, texture and pattern to create a sort of condensation affect. An interesting avenue of contemplation is Brick and Concrete the materials that makeup the structure of the low rise housing areas begin life as fluids. I have found a precedent in the centre of the shopping area of Insadong utlilises brick to create a flowing wall with a rhythm and animation. The images are of the north wall of Ssangil Market.
