Core Introduction:
The competition is a visual artwork call connected to the 2026 Suseong International Biennale. Under the theme “What does ‘Living Ground’ mean to you?”, it invites global participants to explore the relationship between ground, living environments, ecology, public space, architecture, landscape, and community through visual expression. Rather than a conventional architectural design proposal competition, it focuses on conceptual visual storytelling and exhibition-ready artwork.
