POINT - CONTRAPOINT TRAJECTORIES OF TEN KOREAN ARCHITECTSThe projects by ten Korean architects highlighted in this exhibition
catalogue satisfied briefs that mostly called for modest and “human”
buildings, in opposition to the large housing sectors currently being
built in Seoul and many other Asian cities. Particular attentiveness to
the surroundings is seen in a number of the projects, especially when
inserted into a mixed urban context of old and new. The high quality of
traditional workmanship is readily apparent, along with close attention
to detail and specific cultural qualities. In addition to an essay by
Inha Jung on correlative architecture and new urban realities, the book
includes detailed project data, images and drawings. |
