The development of modern architecture in Korea and, more recently,
South Korea, is closely tied to the country's dramatic
transformations since the late 19th century. The authors
interrogate major periods from the Late Joseon Dynasty to the
vibrant democratic present, showing how architecture, by making
technological and stylistic leaps, has played a important role in
the construction of the nation's identity. The architectural
analyses, ranging from Hwaseong Fortress to 21st-century
constructions like Paju Book City, Ssamziegil Shopping Center, the
Boutique Monaco skyscraper, and the Bauzium Sculpture Museum, focus
on buildings in which the formation of a specifically Korean
modernism is particularly observable. The appendix includes
biographical descriptions of major architectural figures.
