Why Apartment Listings Are Rising and How Housing Policies Affect the Market
Discussing the increase in apartment listings and slowdown in transactions in Seoul, Lee Gwang-su, Han Moon-do and Nam Gi-eop broadly agreed that tax changes had a substantial direct effect in Gangnam, but differed over the causes outside Gangnam. Han Moon-do and Nam Gi-eop placed greater weight on a market correction driven by interest rates and accumulated price increases. All three panelists suggested that further policies on lending, housing supply and other areas could mark a turning point for market stability.
08 / Interview Workshop 2
Courtyards, Circulation and the Spatial Qualities of Korean Architecture at Oninjae
Architects Noh Eun-joo and Lim Hyung-nam used Oninjae, a house in Yangyang, to explain their design approach: preserving the sloping site and views while linking multiple courtyards, corridors and an annex to bring the spatial qualities of Korean architecture into contemporary living. They also set out a broader architectural view that the experience of moving through spaces, connections between indoors and outdoors, and the separation of private and public areas enrich daily life more than efficient use of floor space.
