The 15-Minute City

The 15-minute city is an urban design concept that proposes a radical redefinition of daily life: residents should be able to reach most of their essential needs — housing, workplaces, schools, healthcare, shops, parks, and cultural venues — within a fifteen-minute walk or bicycle ride from home. (a) First articulated by the Colombian-French scholar Carlos Moreno in 2016, the idea rapidly gained international traction during the pandemic years, when lockdowns forced city dwellers to rediscover their immediate neighborhoods.

Proponents argue that the model addresses three intertwined crises at once. It revitalizes local economies by directing spending toward neighborhood shops; it reduces automobile dependency, thereby cutting carbon emissions; and it rebuilds the fabric of community by increasing incidental encounters among residents. In their view, the post-war habit of segregating housing, commerce, and industry into separate districts created a geography of isolation in which cars became prosthetic legs.

Yet the concept has also drawn sharp criticism. Some urbanists warn that compressing every function into a fifteen-minute radius risks producing what one critic called "gilded villages" — enclaves so self-sufficient that the wealthy no longer engage with the wider city. Others point to a practical obstacle: land values in dense, walkable neighborhoods have converged so steeply that the working class, whose service jobs sustain urban life, are the first to be priced out. (b) If only the affluent can afford to walk to the bakery, the dream of convenience turns into yet another form of spatial privilege.

The debate, in the end, is not really about distance. It is about who gets to live close to what — a question as old as cities themselves.

Part III — 회고문 / 비평문 클러스터 (Q15~Q23)

On Designing the Invisible

When I first sketched the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on a napkin at a Yale studio in 1981, I did not imagine the years of controversy that would follow. I imagined a cut into the earth — a V of polished black granite — that would not announce itself from a distance but would reveal its gravity only as you walked toward it. The design was deliberately anti-monumental. It refused the vertical heroism of obelisks. It refused bronze generals on rearing horses. (a) It asked the visitor to come down, and then to come down further, until the names of the dead rose up higher than one's own head.

Critics at the time called it a "black gash of shame." Some wanted to bury it under a more conventional statue. I understood their discomfort, though I could not share it. A traditional monument tells you what to feel. It narrates victory, sacrifice, virtue, and then releases you. My design narrated nothing. It offered only names — 58,318 of them — in the order in which their owners had died, not alphabetized, not ranked by medal. The visitor had to supply the grief.

I am often asked whether I regret the anonymity of the design, whether I wish I had carved faces or added figurative sculpture. I do not. Grief is not a public ceremony; it is a private transaction between the living and the dead. A memorial that tries to perform that transaction for the visitor takes something away. It says: You do not need to bring anything here. We have already mourned on your behalf. But grief, once outsourced, stops being grief.

(b) Architecture is usually understood as the art of presence — walls, roofs, the emphatic declaration that something is here. I have spent my career interested in the opposite: in what a cut, a void, an absence can communicate. When you trace your finger along a name on the black wall and see your own face reflected in the stone behind it, the memorial is no longer about the dead alone. It is about the living carrying the dead forward, one touch at a time.

I did not design a monument. I designed a conversation.

Part IV — 장문 논설 클러스터 (Q24~Q36)

Who Owns What a Machine Dreams?

In the autumn of 2022, a painter named Jason Allen entered a digital artwork titled Théâtre D'opéra Spatial into the Colorado State Fair and won first prize in the Emerging Digital Artists category. The piece was beautiful — a baroque opera house rendered with dreamlike luminosity, the kind of image that might have taken a traditional illustrator weeks to produce. Allen had produced it in a few hours, using a generative AI model called Midjourney. When the judges learned the method after the award had been announced, a controversy ignited that has not yet been extinguished. (a) Allen had disclosed his use of the tool on the entry form; the judges had simply not known what Midjourney was.

The controversy matters because it crystallizes three unresolved questions about authorship, labor, and compensation in an age when creative tools can, to a meaningful degree, generate rather than merely record.

The first question — who is the author? — is legally the most tractable. The United States Copyright Office has ruled that works produced solely by a machine are not copyrightable, because American copyright law has always presupposed a human author. This decision rests on precedent: a famous 2018 case involving a macaque who took a selfie established that non-human entities cannot own copyrights. If a monkey cannot own its own picture, the office reasoned, neither can a statistical model. Yet the ruling leaves a harder question untouched. (b) When a human writes the prompt, rejects ninety-eight of the model's outputs, subtly revises the ninety-ninth, and calls the hundredth a finished work, at what threshold does selection become authorship?

The second question — whose labor made the model possible? — is rarely asked in copyright discussions but is foundational. Generative models are trained on enormous corpora scraped from the open web: photographs taken by professional artists, illustrations posted to portfolio sites, novels digitized in online archives. None of these creators consented to, or were compensated for, their contribution to the training set. (c) The economic logic resembles enclosure — the historical process by which common lands, once freely used by villagers, were fenced off into private property, with the former commoners reduced to wage labor on land they had once shared. A generation of illustrators now find themselves competing with models trained on their own work.

The third question — what should compensation look like? — is the least developed and the most urgent. Proposed solutions range from opt-out registries that let creators remove their work from training sets, to collective licensing schemes modeled on music royalties, to straightforward prohibition. Each proposal carries costs. Opt-out shifts the burden onto the creator; licensing requires coordination at a scale the industry has never achieved; prohibition would likely push development offshore into jurisdictions with no enforcement.

None of these uncertainties is a reason to retreat from the technology. They are a reason to build institutions — the slow, oblivious scaffolding of norms, registries, and contracts — that can distribute the benefits of generative systems without hollowing out the creative economies that made them possible in the first place. (d) The worst outcome would be to let the question of ownership be answered, by default, through the accidents of litigation.

Machines do not dream. The humans who built them, and the humans whose work was fed to them, did.

정답 근거: "Machines do not dream" ↔ "humans… did"(대립 = antithesis) + "did" = "did dream"의 동사 생략(ellipsis) → 기계에서 인간으로 공로 재분배.

오답 trap:

  • ② 질문 없음
  • ③ 절 끝 동일 어미 반복 없음 ("did"는 한 번만)
  • ④ 기계에 말걸기 아님
  • ⑤ 완곡어법 없음 — 오히려 직설적 재분배
Q30. Vocab — Contextually Inappropriate 3.2점

문제: Which of the following underlined words from the passage is USED INAPPROPRIATELY in its context?

정답: ⑤

정답 근거: "the slow, unglamorous scaffolding of norms"(긍정·중립적으로 institutions를 수식)가 원문 의도. "oblivious"(무관심한, 자각 없는)는 institutions의 적절한 속성이 아니며, 문맥상 "unglamorous(화려하지 않은)" 같은 단어가 맞다.

오답 trap:

  • ① tractable — "다루기 쉬운", 법적으로 가장 다루기 쉬운 질문 — 적절
  • ② foundational — "근본적인", 노동 문제는 근본적 — 적절
  • ③ coordination — 라이선싱은 대규모 조율 필요 — 적절
  • ④ hollowing out — 창작 경제를 공동화한다 — 적절한 은유
Q31. Cross-Reference SHARED perspective 3.2점

문제: Which of the following BEST describes the SHARED underlying assumption of Passage A and Passage B below?

Passage A (본문 인용): "a famous 2018 case involving a macaque who took a selfie established that non-human entities cannot own copyrights."
Passage B (저자 결론): "Machines do not dream. The humans who built them, and the humans whose work was fed to them, did."

정답: ④

정답 근거: Passage A는 "non-human entities cannot own copyrights"(법적 주체성 인간 전속), Passage B는 "machines do not dream"(기계에는 창의 주체성 없음, 인간만 dream) — 두 인용 모두 창의적·법적 주체성의 인간 전속을 전제한다.

오답 trap:

  • ① "동등한 창의성" — 두 지문 모두 정면 부정
  • ② 저작권 폐지 주장 없음
  • ③ Passage B는 기계가 dream하지 않는다고 명시
  • ⑤ 사진/회화 매체 비교 아님

정답: ④

정답 근거: 저자는 computing power 보유자에게 저작권을 자동 귀속시키자는 입장을 전혀 취하지 않으며, 오히려 훈련 데이터 원작자의 권리 부재를 enclosure에 비유해 비판. ④는 저자 주장과 정면 모순.

오답 trap:

  • ① "selection becomes authorship" 문제제기 — 저자의 암묵 견해와 일치
  • ② "build institutions" — 저자의 핵심 제안
  • ③ 일러스트레이터 공감 대상
  • ⑤ "worst outcome would be… litigation" — 저자와 일치

오답 trap:

  • ① 수익화 중심 가치 언급 없음
  • ② 대체 주장 없음
  • ③ 보편 권리 주장 없음
  • ⑤ 화가만 보호한다는 주장 없음
