Can architecture reunite these two countries? Can it help heal the strained relationship between North and South Korea? Can architecture resolve conflicts between two warring nations and mend the relationship between two peoples? Can architecture help soften the hearts of enemies?

In this video, I present a project that I did in my fourth year of architecture school, that's taught me a bit about the painful history of Korea and has made me think a little deeper about meaning of a shared identity, as well as the role of architecture in addressing complex cultural and political conflicts.

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
