Project by Andrew Seungho Yang, Yeonjoon Kang
This project reimagines the sealed refuge caves of Seonheul Village, sites where civilians hid during the Jeju 4·3 Incident, as a continuous landscape of memory, care, and everyday practice. Rather than treating the caves as isolated memorial objects, the proposal restores their surrounding sacred boundaries as shared civic ground. Metal fences are replaced with shallow circular ponds that protect the cave entrances while allowing visual and spatial continuity. Rainwater is collected through canopy structures and stored in tanks, then directed toward nearby tangerine farms, linking remembrance to ongoing ecological and agricultural cycles. Without disturbing the cave interiors, the landscape transforms into a living terrain where memory, water, and livelihood quietly coexist.
