Regeneration of Industrial Facilities into Cultural Facilities in Seoul: Studying Location Value
Seoul is a rapidly developing city that attempted to keep up with the swift rate of industrialization by constructing large buildings with short life cycles to provide basic urban facilities. Today, however, these buildings are obsolete, and Seoul has become a cultural city rather than an industrial...
