Busan Metropolitan City has announced the 2026 Korea Architecture Culture Festival and Busan Architecture Exhibition at BEXCO from October 27 to 31. The theme is 'MULTIPLICITY: An Inclusive and Resilient City'. Rather than judging buildings only by their appearance, the title invites visitors to consider how cities accommodate different lives and respond to change.
A special Busan exhibition examines the architectural response to the city's topography and living environments and looks toward the future of urban design. Related activities announced by the city include the Busan Architecture Film Festival, public tours of Busan Architecture Award sites, a special lecture by architect Yoo Hyun-joon, and a forum on aging residential neighbourhoods. These are not necessarily held at the same time or under one registration arrangement. Confirm the details for each talk or tour separately.
The event offers a chance to think about the relationship between Busan's coastal setting, hills, everyday streets and the decisions architects make. The city press release establishes the overall dates and key themes, but does not conclusively verify the time, cost or booking availability for each individual session.
