Heukseok An Abrupt Dislocation 돌발 전위를 흑석

Looking to test a strategy, I felt I needed a location to test it in. This led me back to the River Han. Seoul has over the last decade reconnected physically and psychologically with the Waters edge. There are still places where a dislocation occurs. I will concentrate on an area called Heukseok which is located on the southern bank of the Han. A number of layers disconnect the city communities from the waters edge.
A figure ground plan helps illustrate these different layers. Modern Apatu complexes and six lanes of traffic visually and physically disconnect the traditional housing area from the rivers edge. A section will clearly show the apartment complexes as a series of disconnecting walls. My strategy will be to blur the boundaries between these obstructive layers.
