Lee Sang-heon: The identity of Korean architecture
A historian who criticized the reality of Korean architecture and casts a lot of anger at traditional theoreticalization was unusual. He opened the door this time with a view to the identity of Korean architecture. He's long thought that modern Korean architecture has been implanted in the West, so that you can do it properly, you need to know what Western architecture is. So every time I understood Western architecture, I took a habit of paying attention to the differences between Korean architecture and intuitive differences, and I would make notes as I came up with an intuitive clue about it. This book developed on its own. To explain the unlinguated principles of Korean traditional architecture in modern language, we must be relatively close to it through the language and concept of Western architecture that governs modern architecture. The author's thinking naturally links the theme of the paradigm of Korean architecture and Western architecture. This is a project that has been designed to explain the nature of Korean architecture by theoreticalizing its traditions. The idealism is that the project should be used to interpret the quality of Korean architecture as a principle and norm that can be applied in a modern way.
