The exhibition features selected material from three works of N H D M / Nahyun Hwang+David Eugin Moon, that each deals with conditions of "Post -___" urbanism, where the existing environments become novel types of Tabula Rasa that provoke new architectural strategies and potentials for the new city. Located in drastically different cultural, political, and economical conditions, the projects engage global sites of variegated yet familiar territorial and architectural typologies of the "afterwards," from the vast brownfield of an American Post-Fordist company town, to a politically charged 1km long Modernist linear megastructure in Asia, and a vacant office tower complex in a post-bubble Europe. The exhibit provides a unique opportunity to juxtapose seemingly unrelated yet tightly connected spaces in global cities, highlighting the new possibilities of architecture in the sustenance and transformation of the city.
