The Frontline of Korean Architecture

This publication is based on ‘DOCUMENTUM’, a quarterly architecture magazine launched in South Korea in the spring of 2014. In order to present the contemporary landscape of Korean architecture to a wider international audience, this English-language edition is launched as an experiment, a pilot project that selects an eclectic sample of articles published each year that would appeal to architecture lovers everywhere. Its first half comprises three documentary essays, each of which examines the architectural process behind a particular building. The second contains profiles of fifteen recently completed works, chosen for their distinctive design and craftsmanship.
