Annual event serves as platform for academic exchange and collaboration
The University of Seoul is holding the 40th Urban Science Joint Exhibition, showcasing students’ graduation projects at the Centennial Memorial Hall on its campus in northeastern Seoul.
The school said Monday that the exhibition, which kicked off on May 29 for an 11-day run, is a signature annual event of the university’s College of Urban Science. It is the only exhibition of its kind in Korea, where students from diverse urban science disciplines come together to present their graduation projects.
The university has held the interdisciplinary exhibition for four decades, providing a platform for academic exchange and collaboration in the field of urban science.
Participants include students from various departments of architecture, architectural engineering, landscape architecture, urban planning and design, transportation engineering and geoinformatics.
Students majoring in environmental engineering joined the event for the first time this year. Their addition expands the exhibition’s interdisciplinary reach, enabling a broader exploration of challenges confronting modern cities through research using advanced environmental technologies.
“The Urban Science Joint Exhibition is a symbolic event that showcases the long-standing tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration and communication in the field of urban sciences,” said Won Yon-kul, president of the university. “I hope it will serve as an opportunity to explore new possibilities for the advancement of urban science and further strengthen collaboration and communication among departments.”
Visitors can view the exhibited works not only at the on-campus venues but also through the online archive.
Since its launch in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the online exhibition has been held alongside the physical exhibition. It continues to serve as a platform for showcasing students’ works to a wider audience without the constraints of time or location.
