Soongsil University is a private Christian university, which was founded in 1897, is now located at Dongjak-gu, Seoul. The Soongsil University campus is surrounded by residential buildings including apartment complex, but the overall composition of the campus is well designed and naturally harmonized with the surrounding environment.

I sketched several buildings sequentially from the main gate to the central plaza at the top of a small rise in front of the Student Hall. The weather was so fine, we sketchers had a delightful time at the neat and lovely campus with a history.

Real fine day was it! Breezing, shiny... The campus was beautiful and well designed with modern buildings. We could see families on picnic with their kids under the trees.  We were pleased with the participation of Stephen Kopp and his wife Susie from Australia. We planned to sketch once more at Unhyeonngung on coming Thursday.  Thank you all!
