‘Architectural Tour in Gangbuk with Architects’ ... ‘Highly Satisfied’ (96%)
A vivid career experience with architects in charge of new public buildings in Gangbuk-gu... Participating students enthusiastically engage, asking various questions from design to completion
Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 9th that the high school career competency enhancement program, "Gangbuk Architectural Tour with Architects," has successfully concluded.
This program is part of the Gangbuk Future Education District project established by the district to help high school students interested in careers in architecture plan their futures. It features visits to newly constructed public buildings in Gangbuk-gu, where students hear directly from the architects in charge about the design intentions and architectural processes.
Since October last year, the district recruited participants in one to two groups from local high schools and operated the program from early November to the end of December for a total of 40 students. The students toured the newly opened annex of the Gangbuk Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled, Suyu Health Center, and Seoul’s landmark Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), also viewing exhibitions. The students showed great enthusiasm, asking numerous questions about the entire process from design to completion of the buildings.
A survey conducted among participating students showed that 96% responded that they were "very satisfied" with the program. Students shared comments such as, "Talking with architects working on-site brought me closer to my vague dream of architecture," and "It was a great help as I was preparing to enter a university architecture program." The architectural sites they wished to visit included traditional houses, airports, and ports.
