Summary:

Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the conditions of architectural practice in Korea have fundamentally changed. This new environment has also been a seedbed of architectural creativity, particularly for young architects seeking to establish their foothold in a competitive market. Young innovative architects have responded with a combination of resourcefulness, sophistication and toughness in their interventions into the site and program and into materials and fabrication. Presenting the work of nine architects, two photographers, and a team of designers, 'Out of the Ordinary' is a critical presentation of the contemporary conditions of Korean architecture.
