From the original project archiveThe context
A city, seen through its ideas.
The archived account describes work on Seoul’s World Design Capital materials, including original writing, adaptation, and editing across a larger, collaborative program.
The challenge is to give many parts a coherent voice: history and change, cultural detail and public ambition. The reader needs more than a catalogue; the material needs a through-line.
The writing role. Writing, editorial adaptation, and translation editing, as described in the archived portfolio.
