Özet

From a reading of public urban landscapes, Seoullo 7017 Skygarden and Superkilen Park, this study relocates Venturi’s complexity and contradiction as a critical tool. The transformation of road and rail infrastructure into these urban landscapes emerges as a continuous change of order and compromise, and supports the strategy of renovation in Venturi’s perspective. Superkilen displays virtually a hundred urban furniture from sixty nationalities to represent the coexisting multicultural society, whereas Seoullo contains thousands of plants familiar to Korean daily life, in addition to small pavilions for different cultural and commercial activities. Being the double-functioning elements in Venturi’s terms, clichéd urban elements and greenery were separated from their authentic contexts and reinstalled in these landscapes in an unconventional way. The banal and the vivid, action and inertia, signs and objects constitute the difficult whole and take over the former sites of everyday practices. The linear landscapes produce tension and ambiguity by functioning as both passages and stops, pedestrian bridges and spots, sites of continuity and articulation, urban backdrop and natural environment, mediated reproduction and social construct. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
