Architecture
In my opinion i beleive that the Guri New Town is a work of art. This master plan creates a new livable, walkable urban center composed of residences, commercial districts, and communities linked by boulevards and parks. Eight strategically located public green spaces form the center for each neighborhood. A below-grade retail and commercial arcade provides for high end retail at the commercial zones, and daily service retail at the residential zones. A people mover system is designed to link zones below grade to planned future stops on the Seoul subway system. Twin mixed use towers situated on a grand open lawn mark the center of the commercial district of Guri. The lawn slopes to the subterranean retail space to the city and to the water feature at the base of the towers.
I know what art is…
Well to be completely truthful, I have no idea what classifies art as art. But if I was to have to determine if something is “art” worthy I would have to say that it need to be both visually and emotionally effective. You should be able to look at it and catch your attention. It needs to make you think and question what it is that the artist is trying to convey. It should also make you feel something through the way that it is designed. The colors should convey one particular emotion and not several.
Public Art.
Public Art is art that is accessible to everyone. Public Art is especially significant within the art world, amongst curators, commissioning bodies and practitioners of public art, to whom it signifies a particular working practice, often with implications of site specificity, community involvement and collaboration. The term is sometimes also applied to include any art which is exhibited in a public space including publicly accessible buildings. Monuments, memorials and civic statuary are a few examples of public art. Some say that architectural detail is more widespread and fulfills the definition of public art. Increasingly most aspects of the built environment are seen as legitimate candidates for consideration as, or location for, public art, including, street furniture, lighting and graffiti. Public can be more than just physical works; dance, procession, street theatre even poetry have proponents that specialize in public art.
