Site intervention: a trefoil written into the landscape

The world’s first writers pressed, stamped, and scratched simple marks into malleable surfaces. Over multiple milennia, characters have continually evolved as their users retrace their forms onto new materials. The National Museum of World Writing references this history by carving a trefoil, a shape created from an infinite gesture, into the landscape of Songdo Central Park.
