It offers a brief introduction to the basic elements, construction process, structural anatomy, and materials used in Korean traditional architecture. The work also highlights ten of Korea’s best-known and most significant traditional buildings. Korea’s early modern architecture―a period from colonial domination by Japan into the mid-20th century―is also examined. - from Amzon
