Living Light Sculpture Reveals Air Quality of Seoul. Check out how a retro glass sculpture maps the city’s air quality ! In the center of Seoul ’s Peace Park , which is located across from the Korean World Cup Stadium, lies a very extraordinary sight: an outdoor glass canopy called the Living Light Sculpture. Created by Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin of The Living , and commissioned by the Korean Ministry of Environment, this amazing sculpture is more than just a fantastic piece of art.

It actually projects up-to-date information about surrounding cities and their air quality. The glass skin on the sculpture is a map that covers 27 local neighborhoods, and every 15 minutes certain sections light up to tell you which city has the best and worst air quality. This sculpture is amazing to see at night because the cities with the best air quality light up the brightest, and they make the Peace Park look like a space station !

This is a very cool invention that designers Yang and Benjamin hope to see attached to the side of a building one day.

The UK-based illustrator and sculptor describes his work as “all part of a world that is not so different from ours, a grim, cobbled place that is trapped in its own time, with some little elements of odd magic which creep in at the edges.”

His scenes seem straight out of a fairytale gone wrong, with mad scientists, scary robots, filthy bookcases and sad little girls which are equally creepy and charming. Have a look:
