Published in conjunction with the Korean Pavilion’s exhibition at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, this volume reflects on the 30-year history of the Korean Pavilion and re-examines the vision of sustainability and the architectural presence of the national pavilion in the face of geopolitical shifts. The interplay between temporariness and liveability of the pavilion is seen through the gaze of the “little toad” from a popular Korean children’s folk song. The exhibition examines architectural value and regeneration through the exchange of old and new. The pavilion is seen as a “house of exhibitions” where memories and narratives accumulate.
