Stone, Walls and Paths: A Study of Korean Architecture
This book obeserved about Korea’s traditional architecture, wood and stone, both the two most representatives natural materials. Crooked logs are used as columns, and stone is artificially shaped as little as possible so that it remains close to its natural state. There are two major architectural meanings of natural materials in Korea’s traditional architecture: one is the aesthetic of temperance. The aesthetic of technical artistry sees that the ultimate beauty is created when artificial crafting is minimized, preserving as much as possible the intrinsic character of the material.
