LAUNCH AND SIGNING OF THE BOOK “ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS” IN SOUTH KOREA

The iconic Corso Como Seoul concept store invites Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost to present her latest book, *Intérieurs d’architecture*, published by Éditions Dilecta. Through this monograph on architectural interiors, the architect and designer draws us into a play on words that is also a role-playing game: interior architecture becomes “architectural interiors.” This reversal of terms places her work “as close as possible” to architecture. The book takes us through some twenty projects, from the BnF—Bibliothèque nationale de France—to the Villejuif-Gustave Roussy metro station, including the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg and the Dufour Pavilion at the Palace of Versailles.

2026 KOREA HERALD ARCHITECURE TALK REIMAGINES PUBLIC SPACE WITH DOMINIQUE PERRAULT

The Korea Herald is reimagining public space with Dominique Perrault, the guest of honor at its annual forum. His opening lecture, titled “Public Architecture: Ground, Light, and Civic Space,” drew on his recently published monograph by Gallimard and offered insight into his architectural philosophy.
He emphasized a redefinition of the ground—no longer as a boundary, but as a space to be used and experienced—as evidenced by his projects such as the campus complex at Ewha Womans University, the Villejuif-Gustave Roussy station on the Grand Paris Express, and the Gangnam International Transit Center, currently under construction in Seoul.

“Public architecture must be both functional and ambitious”

Architect and urban planner Dominique Perrault is known for redefining public space through his “Groundscape” concept. By integrating architecture into the surrounding landscape through a minimalist, ground-focused design, he blurs the boundaries between above and below, creating spaces that are both infrastructural and experiential.

IS THE FUTURE OF CITIES RIGHT UNDER OUR FEET?

Accustomed to building ever higher, humanity may soon have to dig deeper underground due to climate pressures and the scarcity of land. The potential of underground spaces offers hope for innovative uses, as demonstrated by the redevelopment of parking garages. But these projects also present numerous challenges.
