History, History & Periods 

This book offers an exploration of the lesser-known aspects of this dynamically changing field, starting with a look at the paradigmatic forms of traditional architecture before moving on to examining the issues and currents that have unfolded in architecture as it developed on Korean soil in the era of postmodernism?and began to find its way into the world.By taking a historical approach with the more noteworthy developments in Korean architecture, it seeks to support a new understanding, a rediscovery, of a field in full flux.Bustling Cities, Rising ArchitectureRediscovering Korean ArchitectureTaking the Global StageThe History of Korean ArchitectureStone Pagodas and Temple ArchitectureThe Beauty of Column-head Brackets and EntasisHumble Spaces in Harmony with NatureEast Meets West; Tradition Meets ModernityKorean Spirit Embodied in Traditional ArchitectureBulguksa Temple and Seokguram GrottoMuryangsujeon Hall at Buseoksa TempleJanggyeongpanjeon Hall at Haeinsa TempleChangdeokgung PalaceJongmyo ShrineYangdong VillageSoswaewon GardenDosan Seowon and Byeongsan Seowon Confucian AcademiesHwaseong FortressSeongyojang HouseKorean Modernism and Its LegaciesTwo Giants of Korean ModernismThe 4.3 Group and Architectural HumanitiesStanding at the Boundary of Korean and GlobalPushing the Envelope: New Ideas and ExperimentsBeyond the “City of Rooms”A New Housing Culture between the BeehivesEvolution of Korean ModernismLandscape Architecture and the Transforming CityscapeReinterpretation of Hanok - from Amzon
