Indonesia has brought some of its best architects and curators for Indonesian Architect Week Seoul 2017, which will be held here till Sept. 10.

With the theme, “Architecture and The City: Indonesian Architects, Responds, Approaches and Processes,” the event aims to popularize the role and work of Indonesian architects internationally and strengthen the relationship between Indonesian architects and Korean architects, the Embassy of Indonesia said.

The exhibition at the Art Space is the result of cooperation and collaboration of 53 Indonesian architects as participants, curators, committees and sponsors, and supported by IAI (Indonesian Architects Association), Bekraf (Creative Economic Agency) and the embassy.

“The exhibition presents an attempt by Indonesian architects to take a positive role in the midst of developments in Indonesian cities, through their designs,” the embassy said.

“The works presented in this exhibition try to show the works of Indonesian architects in reacting to the circumstances and contexts surrounding their projects.”
