Description

The book discusses some important aspects in the traditional Korean architecture; various shapes of windows, lattice and doors, among others. The author explains two distinctly different patterns of lattice, the floral lattice, which represents Buddhist architecture, and the geometric lattice that adorns most Confucian architecture, and reflects upon their formal characteristics. Further, he examines various shapes of windows and elaborates on their abstract beauty and explores the functional significance the door has in the traditional Korean architecture. Underlying all these varying patterns and shapes, the author suggests, is a tangible connection between buildings and philosophy.
