Project, Korea Remade

This is a Project. It was designed by Harvard Graduate School of Design. It is dated 2017. It is a part of the department.


Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Korea Remade explores alternative futures for a reunified Korean Peninsula through landscape design by providing social, economic, and cultural opportunities for Korean citizens. The landscape design studio focused on one of the most heavily fortified territories in the world, the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that separates North and South Korea, considering human re-habitation, natural restoration, and existing infrastructure. This includes scattered observatories, abandoned military bases, minefields, subterranean tunnels, as well as existing forests, estuaries, and wetlands. Proposals erase and redraw borders while addressing population displacement, live landmines, soil contamination, and the importance of scenic vistas through complex landscape reorganization and ecologies.
