Nahyun Hwang, David Eugin Moon,

The exhibit in 2011 presented selected documentation and analysis from the research conducted on the conditions of two comparably sized cities - Detroit, MI and Seoul, Korea, in four sets. While the two cities are usually rendered in seemingly disparate conditions, the material included in the exhibit highlights the urbanism prevailing in both cities that are aggressively driven by the simultaneously destructive and generative processes of selective demolition and reconstruction, namely Excise Urbanism.
