Hanok: The Korean House provides new insights into the stylish traditional homes (hanok) that are increasingly popular in Seoul today. While the exteriors of these homes are indistinguishable from traditional hanok built decades ago, the interiors have completely changed and have been adapted in keeping with the times. Korea is a nation that has radically transformed itself in recent decades, yet amidst the glass-and-steel skyscrapers and luxury apartments, the traditional Korean home still survives and plays a surprisingly important role. This book showcases twelve very special hanok that have been selected to reflect the Korea of today, a country of traditional values with a modern approach. The fundamental hanok design has not changed. Traditional materials of stone, wood and clay are still the only components used in the houses. They also incorporate natural elements such as wind and sunlight, and baesanimsu - known in Chinese as feng shui - used to position the hanok in harmony with the natural forces and geographical features of the site. Each hanok has a unique story to tell and this book conveys those stories from the point of view of the owners, many of whom are talented architects and designers. It is intended to give the reader a feel for contemporary Korean culture and identity in a country which is now getting back in touch with its traditional roots. -- from dust jacket. Twelve examples of the Korean house style, traditional on the exterior and in use of natural materials but with contemporary interiors.

Die Entwicklung der modernen Architektur in Korea und später in Südkorea ist eng mit den Umwälzungen verbunden, denen das Land seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert ausgesetzt war. Die Autoren untersuchen die wichtigsten Perioden von der späten Joseon-Dynastie bis zur demokratischen Gegenwart und zeigen, wie die Architektur mittels technologischer und stilistischer Sprünge seit langem einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Identitätsstiftung der koreanischen Nation leistet. Die architektonischen Analysen konzentrieren sich auf Gebäude, an denen die Herausbildung eines spezifisch koreanischen Modernismus besonders gut zu beobachten ist: Sie reichen von der Festung Hwaseong bis zu Bauten des 21. Jahrhunderts wie der Paju Book City, dem Ssamziegil Shopping Center, dem Wolkenkrater Boutique Monaco und dem Bauzium Sculpture Museum. 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.
