Nineteen works created by students from the Traditional Landscape Architecture Department will be showcased, presenting the modern utilization potential of traditional landscape architecture and natural heritage, based on traces of the past and the values of the present.

The exhibition is divided into two categories: planning-type and research-type. The planning-type works focus on the modern succession of traditional gardens and the preservation and utilization of historical and cultural heritage. New landscape proposals for notable sites—such as Korea House in Namsan, the Korean Garden in Frankfurt, Hae-miuip Fortress in Seosan, and Gwanbuk-ri Archaeological Site in Buyeo and other domestic and international landmarks—are presented.

The research-type works explore subjects such as garden heritage management techniques, changes in modern landscape heritage, climate change and ecological environment, wildfires, and geological heritage, aiming to suggest future-oriented management directions.

Kang Kyunghwan, President of Korea National University of Cultural Heritage, stated, "This event will serve as a meaningful opportunity to confirm new possibilities and future values in traditional landscape architecture."
