EARTH WORKS: HOUSES BY BYOUNG CHO

Earth Works: Houses by Byoung Cho presents a compelling monograph on one of Korea’s most significant contemporary architects, offering a rare look at his seldom-published residential projects. Through evocative photography, architectural plans, drawings, paintings and models, the book reveals fifteen remarkable private homes, including early works such as Concrete Box House and Earth House. Rooted in minimalist responses to landscape, these projects explore place, perception and material restraint. Thoughtful essays by Cho reflect on Korean architectural traditions, the land itself, and the ideas of mak and bium, or imperfection and emptiness.
