British designer Thomas Heatherwick<\/a> has unveiled the 90-metre-long, four-storey-high Humanise Wall as the centrepiece of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Revealed at the opening ceremony of the biennale<\/a>, which Heatherwick is general director for, the twisted wall is located in Songhyeon Green Plaza park in central Seoul.<\/p>\n

Named Humanise Wall, the giant steel structure\u00a0is covered in a combination of images of buildings that broadly demonstrate the ideals of the Humanise campaign, along with pieces commissioned for the event.<\/p>\n

Designed by Heatherwick Studio, the wall was created to grab the public’s attention and make them aware that the event is happening in the city.<\/p>\n

“The challenge of many city-wide creativity festivals is that actually, when you speak to a normal citizen and ask them whether they know that there is a city-wide festival of design happening, most people, other than the people in the bubble, won’t even know it’s going on,” Heatherwick told Dezeen in an interview ahead of the event.<\/p>\n

“So in a busy city, how do you actually let citizens really know? You grab people’s attention.”<\/p>\n
