TheWetland'sEmptyHours
Gyeongancheon Wetland Ecological Park sits on the edge of the city, a short drive from the surrounding residential areas. In winter, snow and hoarfrost strip the landscape back to its structure, and what remains reads as a quiet catalogue of Korean ideas about space, balance, and form.
Emptiness
The park sits as a deliberate gap inside the surrounding sprawl. Yeobaek (여백), the principle of intentional empty space in Korean ink painting and design, treats absence as part of the composition: what is left out gives shape to what stays in. The wetland works the same way at urban scale.
