Overview :A New Map Celebrating Concrete Architecture in Seoul
Blue Crow Media introduces Seoul's most notable concrete architecture. <콘크리트 서울 지도>It is a two-sided guide map of Korean-English weapons, and contains a beautiful map of Seoul, an introduction by Professor Kim Hyun-seop, a photo by Choi Yong-joon, and an overview of more than 50 carefully selected concrete buildings.
Blue Crow Media's 20th-century architectural guide map, <Concrete Seoul Map papago-id="4", provides a unique perspective on Seoul's concrete architecture from the 1960s to the present.Concrete architecture, led by famous architects such as Kim Soo-geun, has now become a symbol of numerous Korean architects.The map shows examples of very unique and influential concrete architecture scattered throughout the city,
each designed by various architects, including Kim Joong-up, Kim Soo-geun, MVRDV, Steven Hall, Zaha Hadid, Oh Se-min and Kwak Hee-soo.Professor Kim Hyun-seop introduces the book in the preface to the map."Korean architects have been exploring the possibility of concrete since early times.Concrete is basically used for structural materials that support buildings, but it is also an excellent means of expression in itself.In addition, when iron, glass, brick, and wood are bonded from various angles, the expressive possibilities are infinite.If Kim Joong-up, who was apprenticed at the Le Corbusier office, showed the romantic formability of concrete through the French Embassy in Korea (1962), Kim Soo-geun's Sewoon Shopping Center (1967-70) is a metropolitan megastructure that shows the power of concrete.Since then, in the 1990s, Ando Tadao-style sophisticated exposed concrete techniques have become popular, and current Seoul architecture is developing richer and more sensuous concrete vocabulary amid the actions and reactions to various previous flows.For example, there is a tendency to unify the structure and expression of the entire building by maximizing the possibility of concrete, while there is also a brutalist tendency to reject overly smooth concrete surfaces for ethical or aesthetic reasons.On the other hand,
there is also a new system that manufactures ultra-high-strength concrete panels with thin and flexible curved surfaces and assembles them on site."This map, which is written in Korean and English, will function well as an elaborately curated city guide and an introduction to Seoul's architecture.콘크리트>
