“Timber and Steel Sculptures Transform Raw Concrete Shell in Seoul Before Demolition” — what this page in the network covers. In Seoul, a vacant concrete building slated for demolition has become an unexpected gallery for experimental sculptures and furniture made of timber, steel, and plywood. The project, titled Ghost Barstairs: Temporary Hypotheses, repurposes the raw concrete shell to explore the creative potential of spaces in transition between destruction and renewal. By installing site-specific works within the exposed frame, organizers highlight how materials and forms can activate a structure that might otherwise be overlooked.
The intervention underscores a growing interest in adaptive reuse and temporary art installations in urban environments, where abandoned buildings offer unique canvases for experimentation. As cities like Seoul continue to evolve, projects such as this demonstrate how art and design can provoke new conversations about the lifecycle of architecture.
