Seoul invites the world to dream bigger and demand better cities at Asia’s biggest architecture festival

Curated by Thomas Heatherwick, the Seoul Biennale centers on the “Humanise Wall”—a 90-meter-long, four-story installation of 1,428 steel tiles inscribed with insights from citizens, scientists, and designers. Featuring 400 projects from 38 countries by 110 architects, the Wall acts as a manifesto for joyful, human-centered buildings. Alongside, 24 ‘Walls of Public Life’—fragments of building facades created by global designers ranging from architects to chefs and fashion designers—demonstrate how building exteriors can shape urban life.
