YZA, led by Hyoung-gul Kook, has designed 'Floating Ground,' a 200 m² heritage project in Seoul, South Korea, set for completion in 2026. The project, curated by Miwa Negoro, aims to create a landmark that disappears, referencing the Baekje kingdom's Hansung period (18 BCE–660 CE) when the kingdom flourished in the Seoul area until 475 CE. The design team includes Jaewan Park and Soobong Han, with landscape architecture by ISU Landscape Architects. Materials include PosMAC®. Photographs by Kyungsub Shin.
