DoSeeRock / 도시락 / 都市樂 is the new house that hosts rising voices in the field of architecture. It has been established by Jungin Kim, who practices and teaches in Seoul. As an academic group , DoSeeRock has focused upon the interplay between the built environment and changing constructions of urban conscious in East Asia. Their elaborated work and theoretical explorations are organized around a series of dominant urban projects in China, Japan, and Korea. DoSeeRock examines the social and political consequences of these projects through close analysis of the popular contestations and how these struggles contributed to debates about urban rights and new forms of citizenship.

Dr. Jungin Kim is a practicing architect and professor at Soongsil University, Seoul Korea. Before coming to Seoul, he also taught at the University of California at Berkeley as a lead studio instructor. He was a recipient of Raymond Watson Design Award given jointly by the California Builder’s Association and University of California at Berkeley. Many of his critical frameworks, informed by the emerging field of transnational cultural studies, appeared on the Journal of Architecture, jointly published by the Royal Institute of British Architects, Planning Perspectives published by the International Planning History Society and Routledge, and Architectural Research Quarterly published by the Cambridge University Press.
