The first time I saw the work, it was already buried in dust. Last summer, in the basement storage of Seo-Ahn Total Landscape (STL), I sat with a stack of blueprints that had been gathering dust for decades. Sheet after sheet of pastel, pencil, and ink drawings turned over under the cool light, and as they did I kept recognizing places I had visited as a child without knowing who had shaped them: the glade where my family used to picnic, the corridor of trees along a riverbank, the patches in the city where greenery somehow held against the heat. The work of the landscape architect Jung Youngsun (b. 1941) had already been part of my life. I had simply never seen it as a body of authored design. |
