Hangeul: the Creation of Kings
Background: Hangeul [Hangul] is the Korean alphabet that was created by King SeJong the Great in 1443. Hangeul is incredibly systematic and scientific, yet it is not appreciated as much as it should be.
This project is my attempt to educate others of the logic and methods, as well as the history and meanings behind the development of Hangeul, in order to inspire new creations based on the same logical fundamentals. I felt the need to do a project like this, after realizing that the experience for designing new typography for Hangueul was severely lacking compared to other languages.
The experience is a walkthrough 5 rooms within an exhibition. By navigating through the rooms, visitors are taught different aspects of Hangeul through my own personal attempts at a system. The introductory room is the first room that introduces the exhibition. The next three rooms each have a different theme and attempt. The last room is an interaction room for visitors to interact with the three systems and promote a creation that is parallel to my own attempts.
