This review is from: Hanoak: Traditional Korean Homes (Hardcover)
This is the first book ever published on Korean architecture in English. It does a remarkable job listing the salient aspects of traditional housing design from both a sociological and formal perspective. The book is illustrated with loads of gorgeous photos and helpful diagrams. Even though my knowledge of Korean architecture is fairly advanced (it is my graduate major), I still found some new information in this great volume, written by a cadre of experts in the field.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Hanoak: Traditional Korean Homes (Hardcover)
This is a detailed introduction to traditional furniture, interior design, residential architecture and residential site planning of Korea. My main criticism is that it did not include enough history & details on the ingenious Korean 'ondol' (radiant heating from the floor). I was fortunate to visit the Suwon Korean folk village while reading Hanoak so I could relate the model traditional residences to the technical info in this guidebook.
