From buildings to blocks: Graph contrastive learning for integrated urban architectural morphology classification
Urban block classification is fundamental for understanding urban morphology and guiding renewal strategies, yet traditional methods based on morphological indicators fall short in capturing complex spatial relationships among buildings within blocks. Adopting an urban architecture perspective that…

Buildings as macro-cognitive artefacts: Material engagement theory and the architecture of thinking-through-things—The case of Moriyama House
This study redefines the ontological status of architecture through the framework of Lambros Malafouris's Material Engagement Theory (MET). Moving beyond paradigms that treat buildings as passive settings or symbolic forms, it argues that architecture operates as a macro-cognitive artifact—an…

Seoul 100-year plan: From typological to topological urban identity
This study examines the Seoul 100-Year Plan to reveal a paradigm shift in Seoul's urban vision from a typological to a topological framework. It reinterprets Seoul-ness as a relational identity shaped by geography, ecology, and everyday life, rather than a static form. The 2023 Masterplan's concept…
