Byoung Cho is Korea's leading architect, with almost three decades of experience shaping the city where he grew up and still lives.
This companion to Kengo Kuma: My Life as an Architect in Tokyo presents twenty-nine portraits of the buildings and districts of Seoul that have most influenced Cho, from a more than six-hundred-year-old palace to the Gangnam district made infamous by the K-pop hit, a fourteen-meter-square concrete box, and a number of his own designs.
Byoung Cho mixes personal asides with architectural and historical detail to build up a multilayered picture of the city. Lively texts are interspersed with the architect's own drawings and elegant photographs printed with a sepia tint.
