Entry Description

This project explores South Korea’s population decline, focusing on suppressed discourse around reproduction in modern Asian societies. It questions who controls reproduction, whom it serves, how its value is defined, and how social power shapes these answers. It seeks to expose the ethical and cultural biases hidden beneath civilization’s surface, using architecture to reflect on human nature, morality, and societal control—while highlighting that current power structures often prevent real solutions.
