Architecture as Kisul in Postwar Korea: Building the Industrial Nation-State: 2020 Sherman Family Korea Emerging Scholar Lecture

Media

Join the Society for a live webcast of the 2020 Sherman Family Emerging Scholar Lecture. The 2020 awardee is Sun-Min Park, a doctoral candidate at Harvard University, who discusses Architecture as Kisul (Science-Technology) in Postwar Korea: Building the Industrial Nation-State. Ms. Park addresses architecture’s relationship to state-led, large-scale industrial development in post-war Korea.

Melany Park is completing her Ph.D. in the history and theory of architecture and holds Masters degrees from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the National University of Singapore. Carter Eckert, Yoon Se Young Professor of Korean History at Harvard University, describes Park’s effort as a “brilliantly conceived project combining...histories and cultural issues with an exploration of science/industrialism and aesthetics...in South Korea.” Harvard Professor Yukio Lippit hails Park for her original “use of archives never tapped for use in any language.” The award, presented for a fourth year, is made possible through the support of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sherman and family. The award aims to grow a new generation of thought leadership on Korea in the United States.
