멘탈케어 디자인
■ CONTEXT
Workers in small-scale industrial zones face chronic exposure to noise, fine dust, and confined environments. The absence of rest spaces and deteriorating landscapes compound physical and emotional stress.
Vol.02 | Health, Place-making
서울하천 수변공간 안내체계
■ CONTEXT
Seoul’s 38 rivers and 207km of waterfront spaces are beloved recreation areas, yet safety information was inconsistent, poorly visible, and lacked standardization—increasing accident risk.
Vol.03 | Co-design, Place-making
현대면세점 ESG 공공디자인 (H-gram)
■ CONTEXT
As corporate responsibility evolves from CSR to ESG, public design emerges as a key vehicle for enterprises to embed environmental, social, and governance values into physical spaces and stakeholder experiences.
Vol.04 | Co-design, Health
사회갈등 흡연 넛지디자인
■ CONTEXT
Public smoking generates social conflict between smokers and non-smokers. Punitive policies (fines, restricted zones) have proven insufficient, often driving smoking underground and increasing illicit behavior rather than resolving tensions.
Vol.05 | Place-making, Health
수서역 공공디자인 실험실 (The Public Sticker)
■ CONTEXT
Despite tens of thousands of daily users, SRT Suseo Station’s plaza lacked any seating or rest amenities. The vast open space was merely transited, never inhabited.
Vol.06 | Health, Place-making
수원시 화재안전 디자인
■ CONTEXT
Dense, aging residential areas and traditional markets are highly vulnerable to fire. Narrow alleys, neglected extinguishers, and dim evacuation signage impede emergency response and endanger vulnerable populations.
Vol.07 | Place-making, Environment
파킹데이 (PARK(ing) Day)
■ CONTEXT
Urban space is overwhelmingly designed for automobiles. A single parking space (2.4m×5m) holds one car all day, yet it could serve 100 citizens as a rest area.
Vol.08 | Place-making, Co-design
도곡초등학교 (SPOT 01)
■ CONTEXT
School zones are legally designated child protection areas, yet reality contradicts intent—illegally parked vehicles, narrow sidewalks, and signage positioned at adult eye-level create danger for children.
Vol.09 | Place-making, Co-design
대치1단지 (SPOT 02)
■ CONTEXT
Built in the 1980s, this aging complex suffers from deteriorated amenities, poor lighting, and increasing generational disconnection as younger residents leave and elderly residents remain isolated.
Vol.10 | Place-making, Co-design
강남역 여명길 (SPOT 03)
■ CONTEXT
Despite hundreds of thousands of daily pedestrians, Yeomyeong-gil suffered from chronic litter, rampant smoking, and narrow walkways. Sanitation workers reported that “when one person litters, everyone follows.”
Vol.11 | Environment, Co-design
강남구 담배꽁초 실험
■ CONTEXT
Approximately 15,000 cigarette butts are collected daily around Gangnam Station despite 100,000 KRW fines. Sanitation workers report that cleaning in the morning yields full accumulation by noon. Punitive measures alone have proven ineffective.
Vol.12 | Mobility, Co-design
퍼디즈 함께하길 (Protected Bike Lane)
■ CONTEXT
While cycling increases, physical protection for cyclists remains inadequate. Unprotected bike lanes, parked vehicles, and “dooring” risks persist. Research shows protected bike lanes increase cycling 75% and reduce accidents 90%.
