"The 5th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism opened on September 26 at Songhyeon Green Plaza in central Seoul. Recognized as the largest public architecture festival in Asia, this year's edition is directed by Thomas Heatherwick under the curatorial theme of how cities can become "radically more human." Running through November 18, the Biennale brings together exhibitions, global forums, and citizen-led projects to examine the role of architecture in shaping more inclusive and enduring urban environments."
"A central feature is the "Humanize Wall," a 90-meter-long, four-story-high installation composed of 1,428 steel tiles inscribed with contributions from citizens, scientists, and designers. The structure presents 400 projects from 38 countries, designed by 110 architects, and forms a twisting gateway that frames a manifesto advocating new perspectives on architecture and urban life. Conceived as an open-air exhibition, the wall invites visitors to engage with its images and texts at multiple levels of detail."

The opening included a mayoral ceremony, the two-day Emotional City forum with over 400 participants, and research linking facades to public health and social well-being. Additional exhibitions appear at the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture.
