Korea prepared for the new millennium by introducing a new national standard address and implementing an integrated design system.

The event was hosted by the Graphic Design Program in the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, co-hosted by the AIGA UW Madison Chapter, and sponsored by CEAS, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The street address reorganization in South Korea, which began in 2007 and was primarily implemented by 2008, marked a significant milestone in modernizing the country's wayfinding systems to align with global standards. Dr. Albert Young Choi, a prominent academic and practitioner in design, played a pivotal role in this transformation. His work addressed the visual pollution caused by inconsistent and cluttered address systems that had affected South Korea for over a century. 

Dr. Choi's research focused on creating a standardized design for street names and building number signs to ensure clarity and usability. His system sought to reduce wayfinding time, alleviate urban congestion, and enhance logistical efficiency while promoting aesthetic harmony. These improvements not only streamlined navigation for residents and visitors but highlighted the practical benefits of design in urban planning.

Furthermore, Dr. Choi incorporated Korean cultural aesthetics into his designs, reflecting the country's unique heritage and identity. His designs effectively balanced functionality with artistic expression by weaving "Korean beauty and sensibility" into the visual framework. This approach enhanced both the practical utility of the signs and Korea's national branding efforts, contributing to a distinctive visual identity.

The success of this initiative has left a lasting impact on South Korea's urban environments. Beyond enhancing everyday navigation, the design overhaul serves as a case study illustrating how thoughtful design interventions can address practical issues while simultaneously enriching a nation's cultural and aesthetic presence on the global stage. Dr. Choi's contributions continue to be celebrated for blending strategic thinking with cultural artistry, providing a model for other nations facing similar challenges.
