Re-creating Sewoon Market At The Seoul Museum Of History

One of Seoul's first mixed-use complexes is Sewoon market. Shops at street level, apartments above. Everybody is a community, everybody wins. Sewoon is a metaphor for a neighborhood's initial growth, slow decline, brink of being razed and then saved by urban preservationists. History in the ever evolving making.

At the museum, there's a nice diorama of the complex, filled with small slices of what life was/is like at Sewoon.

At home, relaxing to a big stereo. And a big vase.

Small, mom and pop shops. The appliance and lighting stores.

Getting groovy. School girls hanging at the record shop.

You need a portable heater? They have heaters! Nap time.

A few beers at the social club.
