This is a book written with great determination, taking into account Jukseoru, pavilions, and even modern architecture. Although I inevitably hit a wall regarding the terminology of ancient architecture due to my limited knowledge, I feel like I have read a truly well-crafted book for the first time in a while, and it leaves me feeling incredibly satisfied.
At first glance, this book appears to be just another report on Jukseoru. It seems like a truly useful resource to take to the site...

Lee Hee-bong: All About Korean Architecture: Jukseoru
*All About Korean Architecture: Jukseoru* is a book that deals with methods of scholarship and design. It explores Jukseoru based on the premise that the land is sacred and has been there since time immemorial, and that humans are merely scribbling the graffiti of architecture upon it. Moving beyond the positivist historiography that has persisted as a remnant of Japanese colonial rule, it reads the past through a new history of daily life and microhistory.
