 Jang Yoon Gyoo Another Genetic Manipulation Korea 2000 In semiotic fields. Invisible semiotic layer (New Urban Layer). In mega-cities, today, there is no boundary between the inside and the outside. Therefore, the question is whether the physical structure of these metropolis can be meaningful to us or not. As the city has already been transformed by invisible structures, such as information, images, and media, we need a new device controlling and integrating these invisible elements of the city. Attractor in semiotic fields (Rehabilitation of Urban Life). The city must be filled with new organisms accelerated by the power of vitality as necessary elements. The only solution for these problems is the creation of a dynamic and organic object not related to the already existing urban structure. This new genetic structure is not a resolution of the physical urban fabric, but a transformation based on mental reaction toward the city. Attractor's reaction (Floating Organism). So this proposal is not to recompose the urban structure through the existing methods of urbanism, but to image a new possibility of development of the city. It is composed of rehabilitating and active floating organisms. This floating organism is a new gene that will be able to revive and rehabilitate old urban fabrics, because it is also made up of the biological cells of living bodies. Ultimately this new gene produces new urban skins, codes, and layers that can subsequently react with one another. Jang Yoon Gyoo graduated from the Seoul National University in Korea in 1987; he completed the Master course in Architecture at the Seoul National University in 1990. He obtained an award from the T.S.K Architectural Travelling Fellowship in 1993, and a Honorable Mention in the Shinkenchiku Takiron International Competition 1994. He became the principal of Artech Architects & Partners in 1995; from 1997 to 1999 he was a professor at the Kaywon School of Art and Design. From 1998 to 2000 he directed the Design Pool at HEERIM Architects & Engineers. His work was selected for Exhibition & Publication in the UIA International Competition, held in Barcelona in 1996; he was awarded the First Prize in the Design Center Competition 1997, in the International Competition for the Embassy of Egypt in Seoul, 1998, in the Competition for the Contemporary Art Museum in Teagu, 1999; he also obtained awards in the Seoul Metropolitan Award 1999 and in the Venice Biennale 2000. He is now concentrating on his Atelier “Jang Yoon Gyoo” for Theory & Experimentation. |
