A Worker's Lunch and a Visitor's Dessert

A fast lunch spot and a long-wait café sit in the same alley. Reading Seongsu through two prices and two lengths of stay.

Two different food cultures coexist within the same alley in Seongsu.

A fast lunch and a long wait

Fast, cheap lunch spots for factory workers sit side by side with cafés and dessert shops where visitors line up and wait. Both price and length of stay differ greatly.

Reading Seongsu through two axes

Seeing these two axes together reveals the change Seongsu is undergoing. A worker's short lunch hour and a visitor's long café time flow simultaneously in the same alley, different shops.
