"Seongbuk-dong, located on Seongbuk-ro, still retains traces of old houses scattered throughout the area."
"In the past, the homes of literati and famous figures were concentrated along the former Seongbukcheon stream."
"While many of these houses are gone, with only their sites remaining, some are still preserved today."
"I believe the urban landscape heremoderately filled yet appropriately vacant, maintaining a relaxed, slow pace amidst the hyper-density of central Seoulis unique."
Seongbuk-dong sits along Seongbuk-ro and retains traces of old houses scattered throughout the neighborhood. Historically, homes of literati and notable figures clustered along the former Seongbukcheon stream. Many original houses have disappeared, leaving only their sites, while a number of residences remain preserved. The urban pattern combines moderate density with deliberate vacancies, creating a relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere. That balance provides a unique contrast to central Seoul's hyper-density. The presence of preserved sites and scattered historic homes contributes to a layered urban fabric that supports both memory and quiet residential character.
