Architectural research initiative arch out loud has released the winners of its’ DMZ Underground Bathhouse international open-ideas competition.
arch out loud challenged designers to explore the possibility of creating an underground bath
house within the Korean Demilitarized Zone which responded to the surrounding geopolitical
conditions. New forms of non-military architecture could occupy the border zone and begin to
ease the existing tension.
1st Place: Crossing Parallel(s)
The role tourism can play in opening relations across a border begs the question: How does architecture position itself in the middle of this condition of tension?
With nearly 300 proposals and over 900 participants from all over the world, the designers of
the DMZ Underground Bathhouse competition confronted the very sensitive zone with a variety
of poetic and sublime approaches. Program and narrative were common components in
proposals for releasing tension through the bathhouse.
The competition jury consisted of Stan Allen, Moon Hoon, Jing Liu, Lola Sheppard, Minsuk Cho,
Kristy Balliet, Anna Neimark, Seunghyun Kang, Nicholas Bonner, Yehre Suh, and Matias Del
Campo.
1st Place: Crossing Parallel(s)
The winners of this competition will be featured in the second issue of the out loud journal,
“BORDERS + ARCHITECTURE”. The out loud journal features results and analysis of arch out
loud’s competitions along with an interdisciplinary collection of essays surrounding the journal
topics.

JUROR COMMENTS
Comments are about various projects and/or the overall competition
“With such a charged setup, the competition poses difficult questions and issues for
architecture. The more successful submissions were ones that tried to address the conflict
through spatial programs, scenarios, and narratives.”
“ [The project] points to the illegibility and the illegitimacy that is experienced by one side
toward the other.”
“The projects are also gestural in creating intense metaphorical experiences in an overall
peaceful grandeur for a proposed unity.”
“The [project] offers opportunities for collective and individual experiences that intertwines in
tactical ways.”
“The powerful tension between large scale object and human body can be read as a sublime
commentary about the DMZ zone.”
“While the new entry on the ground recreates the political segment as part of the history, the
underground space introduces a new field that is multi-directional or non-directional, where
people can reorient, communicate, and unify.”
“words gallop thousands of miles without legs” “Rumors, gossips, fragments amplified into
space and spatial experience. Fear, terror, joy anger all stems from it. A great commentary of
the current situation…( I am hearing it )”
“ [The project] tells a story of relationship of human conditions with different ideologies in a
theatrical and performative manner, where space itself exists as both functioning utilitarian
bath and theater.”
“ [This project] gives a feeling of movement isolation, inability to escape, confined, controlled,
and sacred. Simplistic, emotional and powerful contrasts with the craziness of what this manmade
division represents.”
“The division of Korea, and the location, remains extremely emotional and use of this space
releases that tension.”
