Upcoming Symposium
혼종의 풍경: 갯벌
Re-Covering Getbol as Hybrid Landscapes
How might we rediscover Getbol, one of the Earth’s oldest and most archetypal landscapes, now on the verge of disappearance? This symposium gathers leading voices from the fields of architecture, landscape, culture, and art to unravel the intricate layers of Getbol as a hybrid landscape.

Getbol, the Korean tidal flats, represents a unique hybrid landscape forged through the dynamic interplay between sea and land. It is a fluid, ever-changing environment, where the contours of the terrain continuously shift with the rhythm of the tides. This liminal space serves as a sanctuary of biodiversity, sustaining over a thousand species that coalesce and thrive in a delicate balance. Yet, getbol is also a contested frontier, where human efforts at land reclamation and control meet the persistent forces of nature’s transformation. It is both a source of renewable energy and a critical frontier in the battle against climate change, embodying the dualities of hope and crisis.
How might we rediscover Getbol, one of the Earth’s oldest and most archetypal landscapes, now on the verge of disappearance? This symposium gathers leading voices from the fields of architecture, landscape, culture, and art to unravel the intricate layers of Getbol as a hybrid landscape. Through this exploration, we seek to open new horizons of collaboration between humans and non-humans, urban and natural environments, and the cultural and ecological realms.
The symposium is divided into three key topics
1. The Interconnected Coexistence of Tidal Flats
By delving into the ecological networks that connect tidal environments, non-human species, and human communities, we aim to uncover the underlying principles of these complex, interwoven coexistence of tidal flats.
‘Getbol, People, Stories’
Speaker: Kim Chang-Il, Curator of the National Folk Museum of Korea
‘Being Shellfish’ (pre-recording)
Speaker: Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual & Alon Schwabe), Artist Duo
2. Vanished Landscapes and Reclaimed Spaces
This session will explore multidisciplinary approaches aimed at reimagining boundary spaces— such as tidal flats, islands, and wetlands—through advanced technologies in the context of the climate crisis.
‘Tidal Flats Researched with Artificial Intelligence and Drone Technology’
Speaker: Koo Bon Joo, Senior Researcher at the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, Professor in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Science and Technology (UST)
‘Sounds of Water and Land - Glór Uisce agus Tallamh’ (pre-recording)
Speaker: Marcus Maeder, Sound artist & Researcher

3. Deconstructing Perspectives on Tidal Flats
This session will delve into how new, deconstructive perspectives on these liminal terrains—where sea and land, nature and city, and urban and rural meet, such as Korea’s tidal flats and the Wadden Sea in the Netherlands—can spark artistic and architectural innovation.
‘Fluid Soils: (Co)Designing for the Wadden Sea Landscapes’ (pre-recording)
Speaker: Laura Cipriani, Assistant professor of Landscape Architecture at Delft University of Technology
‘Between Sea and Land: Navigating the Boundaries of Time’
Speaker: Chung Soyoung, Artist
