Conference by Thierry Damez-Fontaine at the 2026 Korea International Architecture Festival 03 November 2026

On 29 October, as part of the 2026 Korea International Architecture Festival and the Busan Architecture Fair, Thierry Damez-Fontaine, Associate Director, gave a lecture on the theme ‘The historical evolution of social housing in France and the transformation of urban and architectural approaches’ in Busan, South Korea.

This presentation also provided an opportunity to showcase some of 2Portzamparc’s most iconic architectural projects, illustrating our approach to housing, the city and their transformations. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our experiences and exchange perspectives on architecture and the city.

Thank you to the Korean Institute of Architects (KIA) and the Busan Institute of Architects for their invitation and for organising this wonderful international event.
