Disaster Architecture and Urbanscape Design

Project NSS (‘Neo Survival System’) is a modular urban project designed to guarantee the survival of people in Seoul, Korea in the year 2050. Imagining the core necessities of life in a future age of climate disaster as medical care, food, and shelter, the designers developed an emergency response based on three modules: cultivation center, medical center, and refugee shelter. The foldable and stackable modules are positioned on Seoullo, a highway overpass that was converted to a pedestrian walkway in 2010, to form a survival cluster. This concept is part of a vision of Seoul as a Surviving City.

JURY STATEMENT

This is a well-rounded project that addresses the massive risks climate change poses for megacities. The proposed living space functions as a mini city where fundamental human needs are prioritized.

WINNER STATEMENT

It is a great honor to receive an iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD for the final project we worked on at university. We hope that our project will inspire more people to take an interest in climate and environmental issues.
