Description
In January 2024, the World Meteorological Organization officially declared 2023 as the hottest year on record, highlighting the potential for this record to be surpassed yet again this year. It has been quite a long time since architecture has been mandated to consider sustainability to address the current crisis, akin to a disaster. In the special feature “Seeking answers from nature”, C3 examines three houses that incorporate elements from nature to achieve the necessary conditions for eco-friendly architecture, thus advancing towards sustainability. The first part of this issue is the work of Heesoo Kwak’s architecture. Widely known for his collaborative works with top tier clients of the Korean Wave, his projects integrate the elements of program vs. facility, mass vs. volume, and structure with his signature concrete mass designs.
