“Night School”_A Proposal of Establishing a Cultural and Academic Community on an Abandoned Urban Infrastructure Space

초록

Regarding the so called ‘Ghost Platform’ as a mythical subject, which is retained, but not in use, below the Sinsuldong subway station, and inspired by the “Nine and Three Quarters” platform appeared in the fiction ‘Harry Potter’, the study attempts to employ a non-normative design process maneuvering narrative and movie scenes and to adapt the Sudo Institute that is a cradle of qualification exams, for urban programs. Night school is, therefore, a self-fabricated context that reveals darkness of the crypt out to the city, that displays the tower of wisdom outgrowth from the city’s underground, and that creates a theater as a class room filled with urban myths. Key words: Geisterbahnhofe, ghost platform, city myth, fiction, Sudo-academy
