Seoul is the only megacity where over 25% of its territory is formed by forested hills woven directly into the urban landscape. In Seoul Mini-Mountains, Swiss architect Géraldine Borio examines 24 of these overlooked sites, uncovering how they have shaped the city’s history, planning, and daily life. Using historical maps, GIS data, aerial photography, and fieldwork, Borio interprets these hills as meaningful “voids” within Seoul’s dense fabric - transitional zones rich with memory, identity, and resilience. Published alongside an exhibition at the Seoul Museum of History (2024–2025), the book is designed as an experimental French-fold art object, blending research with visual exploration.
