Seoul Architecture Audio Guide | From Jongmyo Shrine to the Curves of DDP
What you'll hear
Seoul was not completed under a single plan. Mountains and courtyards shaped the Joseon capital, while stone halls, railways, concrete landmarks, and international commissions added new layers. This guide connects those periods through details you can observe across the city.
Rather than listing buildings and dates, the guide helps you compare axes, terrain, courtyards, eaves, structure, materials, and movement. It also separates modernization, colonial rule, development, preservation, and reuse so that their different histories do not collapse into one story.
Listen in sequence to follow five sections from Joseon Seoul to the present, or play individual items at each location. Access, restoration work, and urban conditions can change, so check official information before visiting.
