<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> The development of modern architecture in Korea and, more recently, South Korea, is closely tied to the country's dramatic transformations since the late 19<sup>th</sup> 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. </p> <p> </p> <p> The architectural analyses, ranging from Hwaseong Fortress to 21<sup>st</sup>-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. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br> <p><strong>Peter Rowe</strong>, Professor of Architecture, <strong>Yun Fu</strong>, Architect/Scholar, <strong>Jihoon Song</strong>, Doctoral Candidate</p> <p>Harvard Graduate School of Design </p><br>
