WINNER OF THE DAM ARCHITECTURAL BOOK AWARD 2013

In this fascinating study, experimental space-lab MOTOElastico delves extensively into the uses of Seoul’s public spaces, documenting and analysing a diverse spectrum of typologies and activities through photographs, diagrams and installations.


The 'Borrowed City' is the way private citizens use public space for personal benefit, from simply standing or walking in it to more elaborate exploitations, such as commercial or leisure activities. Once individual interaction with public space begins, our presence must be constantly negotiated with the rest of the community, something which changes according to local culture or rules and becomes self-defining

Once individual interaction with public space begins, our presence must be constantly negotiated with the rest of the community, something which changes according to local culture or rules and becomes self-defining, a mutual agreement among citizens.
