2) The policy of design project in Seoul

25.10.2011 Tuesday Class / Third Presentation / The policy of design project in Seoul


The justification of the design project of Seoul what they choose the construction budget instead of welfare budget.

Thesedays I study about the urban design plan so the design city project of Soeul is very interesting to me. When I learn about urban planning in Seoul, there's so many problem about what these politician's unconverted thinking especially for Seoul. The thing is they wants to change almost everything in Seoul like making the landmark building and big park in center of the city without consideration about preservation of the historical place or special trait of the site. So maybe in 5 - 10 years, it is nice project for Seoul but later, there's no meaning for Seoul's history and landscape. It just new and good looking things and few years later it will be change again. So I think the purpose of this design project is not for the city or citizen. It has political goal and Seoul spent a lot of money for this project.

So what's the important thing between the making the big construction without notion of the urban-planning and welfare like free lunch for elementary school students?
Of course I choose the welfare issue. We don't need to spend a lot of budget for city design. Urban-planning is very important but it shoud be more serious and need more study. And I think welfare is most important thing in city administration.

1) The Hybrid Car.

11. 10. 2011 Tuesday Class / First Presentation " Hybrid Car"

Why we choose the hybrid car even it has so many disadvantage?

 Thesedays, Hybrid car is social issue with airpolution & earth resources problem. There's so many companies to develop the hybrid car and also many people has a interesting about this car.

However, still there's many problems to choice the hybrid car. For example, Its so expensive compair to normal car, so heavy because of the batery and if it has a problem it will be so difficult to repair the car.

But why people feel so interesting about this car and they wants to buy this car?

 I think, there's 2 reasons which is very clear.

First, Environment Issue. Now, in this world, the pollution of the environment is very serious problem and the airpollution problem what cause from the car is huge part for all about airpollution. And also this kind problem is always related with human's life so for survival side, we have to change our style about car. Also for resources problem like oil, we can save a lot of oil if we change the normal car to hybrid car.

Second, Human's fantasy about new technology. For a wonder, almost of people has a fantasy about new technology even you're analogical person, in your mind, you have a potential fantasy about new technology. For example, the boom of i-phone or just invention of the phone in 1876. People are always feel curious about new things and try to make it to gerneral way. like the smart phone, traffic card and laptop. So, for hybrid car, it will be same with the other innovative things and to be gerneral thing.

 Still hybrid car has a lot of problem but instead of many diadvantage, it will be popular thing in human's life.
