A to Z: Seoul’s elevated park features 24,000 alphabetized plants

Seoul is about to receive its very own elevated park created from an overpass originally built in 1970. In 2006, safety inspectors deemed the overpass to be unsafe and the city planned to demolish and rebuild it. But further consultation with the city’s residents led to the idea of transforming the overpass into a pedestrian walkway, and a design competition was launched in 2015.  Netherlands-based MVRDV won the competition with its Seoul Skygarden design.
