Student architects have created a series of temporary pavilions in Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul, as part of the 15th Union of Architecture University Students (UAUS) Pavilion Exhibition. The installations, designed by architecture students from 25 universities across the country, aim to explore the relationship between educational environments and human interaction.
The exhibition, which runs until August 28, invites passersby to enter small, uniform structures measuring 3.5 meters in size. Organized under the theme "U&US: Re-membering in School," the pavilions challenge conventional notions of academic spaces by presenting them as dynamic, interactive environments. Rather than simply serving as functional spaces for instruction, the student teams have reimagined these structures as places where rigid academic systems, such as fixed class schedules and seating arrangements, coexist with spontaneous, self-directed social connections.
