A Case Study of Public Art for the Revitalization of Urban Regeneration : Seoul, Hong Je-yeon, Docking Seoul, and SAM932 Project

This study aims to comprehensively examine the impact of public art on urban regeneration by analyzing three public art projects implemented in Seoul: Hongje Yuyeon, Docking Seoul, and the SAM932 Project. Through this analysis, the study explores three key aspects: first, whether public art harmonizes with various urban elements to enhance the overall value of the area; second, how effectively it conveys the identity and value of the community to the public; and third, how local residents were engaged in the project from the early planning stages. Furthermore, by analyzing how public art considers political, racial, and social equity and identifying commonalities between them, the study aims to propose strategies for the more effective utilization of public art in future urban regeneration projects.
