C3

C3 439 explores how architecture negotiates space, site, and sensory experience. Dancing Degree by MannYoung Chung questions orthogonality through fluid design. In “New Projects,” works like Dream Maru by Seungbom Roh and Aewol Hangeo by IROJE Architects embrace light, landscape, and reflection, alongside interviews with Seung H-Sang and Hyungmin Pai. Non-referential Cafe showcases sensory-driven spaces, including Cafe Skog, Breath Coffee Works, and Cafe Mokjeokji 9. Lastly, “Rooted in Place” explores two Argentinian homes—Rita House and Moro House—each deeply connected to their sites. Through interviews and essays, issue 439 presents architecture as a dialogue—between body, place, and perception.
