Seoul Urban Architecture Exhibition Hall Extends 'Architect's Journey' Exhibition Until Next Month

Until the 26th of next month

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 26th that the exhibition "Journey of an Architect" at the Seoul Urban Architecture Exhibition Hall, originally scheduled to end at the end of this month, will be extended until the 26th of next month.

"Journey of an Architect" is a special exhibition showcasing the representative works of Eduardo Souto de Moura, an architect who represents Portuguese modernist architecture and a recipient of the Pritzker Prize, known as the Nobel Prize of architecture. Visitors can experience the artist's works that embody universality and aesthetics unaffected by the passage of time.

Currently, at the Seoul Urban Architecture Exhibition Hall, through collaboration with the Embassy of Portugal in Korea and the Portuguese non-profit architectural organization "House of Architecture," models, related sketch drawings, photographs, and blueprints of 12 projects including Souto de Moura's representative works such as Braga Stadium (2003), Burgo Tower (2007), Paula Rego Museum (2009), and Braga City Hall (2010) are on display.

"Journey of an Architect" can be viewed free of charge from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (last admission at 5:30 PM, closed on Mondays). For more details, please visit the Seoul Urban Architecture Exhibition Hall website (search for ‘Seoul Urban Architecture Exhibition Hall’) or inquire by phone.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Housing Policy Office of Seoul, said, “Through the extension of the exhibition period, we hope that more citizens, including university students starting their semester, will be able to appreciate the works of this world-renowned architect,” and added, “We will continue to strive to promote international exchange exhibitions on the theme of urban architecture.”
