The Written Skin of the City

Min Jeong Park

Profile picture of Min Jeong Park

Min Jeong Park is a designer from Seoul, Korea, with a background in sculpture from Seoul National University, Korea. She has currently finished an MA in Interior and Spatial Design at UAL. With a strong interest in urban environments, her work focuses on designing public spaces that spark inspiration in everyday life. 

Particularly drawn to surface and layers, her practice explores the accumulation of time and traces embedded in the surfaces of urban spaces. Her projects aim to translate these elements into spatial interventions that evoke playfulness and emotional resonance. 

Her journey has evolved from sculptural objects to immersive spatial installations, reflecting a continued exploration of materiality, sensory, and interaction within the built environment.

The old and new are interwoven in London. Paving bricks of different materials, shapes, and eras form a curious mix — a textured palimpsest continuously written and rewritten through human presence, movement, and decay. 

Moving fluidly between site-specific investigations and city-scale practices, this project explores how the city’s surface records the slow sedimentation of use: the marks of footsteps, the friction of wheels, the wear of bodies leaning, waiting, or resting. The traces of these gestures, though often unnoticed, quietly accumulate, layering history beneath the rhythm of everyday passage.

A playful device that echoes urban barriers. As it rolls across the ground, it translates surface textures into sound.
