WOW. A lot of Korean Designers…
gx3 says
yea. koreans have got some creative juice up there^^
Ekove says
A lot of good ones. Some of the ones that really took a big dump on functionality for the sake of “coolness”. Overall a not bad list.
Patrick says

My favorite design is that rolling bench (#2) unless the rain soaks all sides of the bench. There would be a lot of shin banging as well.
Duane Nason says

I think a lot of these choices were perfect. I’m glad Yanko can look beyond the limitations of today’s possibilities, and support the idea the designer wanted to invoke. Nobody here can say these things will never exist in the countless years to come (in its current state, or improved versions.) So at least we get to enjoy our imaginations and beautiful ideas now! Never stop, thanks Yanko!

I was particularly impressed with the Virtual Wall, Traffic Light (Urban Design). I am wondering if it can be modified and the images used as a means of Advertising.
I have sent a couple of emails to Hanyoung Lee but I”m yet to hear from him. I”ll appreciate any help on how to contact him. Thank you
