18th Seoul Architecture Festival

The 2026 18th Seoul Architecture Festival, themed 'Assembling Seoul', aims to rediscover the unique architectural and urban charm of Seoul together with its citizens. Seoul creates creative possibilities based on 'Complex Density', where the history, culture, and locality of a high-density city are combined. Furthermore, it has continuously adapted through 'Accelerated Evolution', rapidly updating its form based on existing accumulation amidst rapid social changes. Moreover, through 'Glocality', which intersects regional contexts with global trends, it is expanding the unique urban experience and value of contemporary K-Architecture to the world. At this year's Seoul Architecture Festival, various participation programs are prepared so that citizens can experience Seoul's architecture and city more closely and become familiar with architectural culture. Through diverse citizen-participatory content such as the Architecture Culture Forum with architects, talk programs and work tours with the winners of the 44th Seoul Architecture Awards, and programs for young aspiring architects, we aim to provide a venue for discovering Seoul's architecture and creating K-Architecture culture together with citizens.
