Park Lee - Hosted by Philip Christou

A screened live lecture "Form Found From The Ordinary" - Part of The Architecture Foundation 100 Day Studio.

Founded in 2017, ParkLee studio is a young research practice based in Seoul, Korea that shares a deep interest in the inter-relationships between art and architecture, by finding forms in the ordinary scenery that they find around themselves and to translate some of these qualities in their projects. In the first few years of practice, several small houses and interior designs in Korea have been realised. ParkLee studio was awarded joint 2nd prize in the international design competition to renovate the Stadshallen in Lund, Sweden originally designed by Klas Anshelm.
