The lecture is a retrospective of two architects, Taeyoung Kim and Hyunjun Kim on Onuel Community Housing, designed and built between 2015 and 2016. It begins with the key issues raised in the design process, proceeding to the architectural components designed as a response. It reveals the ambivalence of the goals and values that were actually embraced by the offer of design to choices, mobility and changeability, and its importance in the way how Oneul community has evolved since, living creative in everyday use of spaces both collectively and individually. The retrospective continues to the conversations with the Onul community members, further extending them to the discussions on the design of Community Housing now and afterwards.
