2| A Unique Condition 고유 조건

The edge condition as I described in an earlier post is unique in many ways. In many other cultures spaces below and close to vast transport infrastructure are usually intimidating. The Han Renaissance is successful only due to the cultural mindset of Seoul's citizens. I feel that Korean culture is guided on solid moral principles in which respect of each other and the public realm enables the spaces at the rivers edge to be inhabited positively. I carried out a photographic study of an area close to Oksu subway station. I find this part of Seoul fascinating and the photos below try to study peoples activities, infrastructural connections, spatial characteristics and water relationships at first glance.

Infrastructure soars above shading the spaces below, see if you can spot the guy. The table of photos below look at four areas of interest, Activity on the bank, activity at the rivers edge, infrastructure that helps define the space and the assortment of views and perspectives across the river and the city.
