Digital Ecology – Generative City by PAACADEMY will make participants think about the relationship between the architecture and its context, the program and its environment, and the building and the ground by speculating how architecture responds to the changing landscape due to variation in the environment. The studio will run and lead by Soomeen Hahm and Hanjun Kim from Soomeen Hahm Design. 6-week-long project-based online studio by PAACADEMY.

We will start by building a digital landscape in a virtual environment using Unity, then generate a city on the virtual site. The final proposal will be represented in an animated film, which will showcase the design of the building, the ground, and the context.
