Korea Style

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Discover the beauty and variety of Korean architecture and design!

Simplicity, tradition, and a deep respect for all things natural these are the basic elements of Korean style that underpin the nation's fast-growing creative movement, making Korea a leader in global fashion and design. Influences from China, Japan, and the West have filtered into Korea, but the peninsula has always maintained its own identity. Spatial, spiritual, and material qualities are reflected in the simple beauty of its architecture, while classic objects with a uniquely Korean aesthetic are used with panache in interior decoration.

In the first book to document Korea's architecture and design scene, authors Marcia Iwatate and Kim Unsoo present 24 exceptional homes, studios, and heritage buildings. Ranging from vernacular to cutting-edge contemporary, these projects celebrate Korea's natural landscapes, crafts, and deep architectural heritage juxtaposed with the nation's dynamic drive to invent, experiment, and create.
