Seoul City Guide: From Palaces to Parametric Masterpieces

With a rising global affinity for K-pop culture, K-dramas, Korean skincare and beauty products, K-movies, and Korean cuisine, as part of the Korean Wave, it is the right time to explore the urban character and architectural language of Korean cities. Situated at the heart of South Korea, Seoul has evolved into a platform to showcase bold, experimental architecture, ironically set against the backdrop of lavish Korean temples and palaces. Making the architectural landscape of Seoul rich and diverse, and Seoul an unmissable city from an architect’s itinerary.

The urban scene of Seoul boasts a mix of juxtaposing architectural styles, from regional traditional Korean temples and palaces to contemporary cutting-edge infrastructure and skyscraper buildings. At its core, the city of Seoul preserves some of the masterpieces of traditional Korean Architecture, including the Jongmyo Shrine, Changdeokgung Palace Complex, and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, which are designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
