For the first time in Korea, the London-based architecture and design innovation firm ecoLogicStudio unveils to the public three photosynthetic architectures within the framework of “Habitat One”, an exhibition that opened in early July 2022 and that was on show at the Hyundai Motorstudio in Busan until January 8, 2023.

“Habitat One” presents a concept for a new type of “shelter”, a sustainable housing solution for what has been called Generation One: the first to live in a carbon-neutral society. Within this context, a multidisciplinary team led by ecoLogicStudio’s founders Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, created Tree One, a 10-meter-tall living sculpture, commissioned by Hyundai Motor.
