- About This Book
-
This book reviews the aesthetics and philosophical implications of the spatial composition and furniture arrangement in traditional upper-class houses of the Joseon period (1392-1910). It emphasizes the naturalist and humanist thoughts embodied in traditional Korean architecture and lifestyle as a viable alternative to modern housing with its many negative consequences.
