"I Will Go to You Like the First Snow_the First Day of Snow" by Eric G. Pettersson 
  

"I will go to you like the first snow" is a narrative-driven, speculative project situated in winter 2047 in Seoul, South Korea. The project asks, "What will happen when Seoul runs out of space?" and investigates the spatial and urban qualities of vertical towers, where future population density forces people to live in infinitely tall goshiwon towers, and how they create isolation and loneliness.

The project shows a post-pandemic world, where isolation and the bang culture drive architectural space-making in South Korea. The project imagines that the city of Seoul has long run out of space, but not money, where the tower symbolizes the solution to the ever-growing single-person population left in isolation.

The first snow is a narrative tool that contrasts the isolation and loneliness found in the goshiwon typology, as the first day of snow has a cultural significance of fated love in South Korea.
