OBSESSION OVER THE ORIGINAL: THE FRENCH EMBASSY IN KOREA BY KIM CHUNG-UP
RE-VISIT SPACE 12
SPACE has documented the Korean architectural scene over the past 55 years. To shine a new light on its huge collection of past articles, the architecture historian Hyon-Sob Kim, critic Park Junghyun, architect Suh Jaewon, and architecture and art historian Cho Hyunjung were invited to conduct a discussion about SPACE’s impressive legacy. We hope that the material shared at this meeting will present a productive new genealogy and direction to today’s architectural debates. Cho Hyunjung is a professor at KAIST, School of Humanities and Social Sciences. She graduated from Seoul National University Department of Archeology and Art History and received a doctorate from the University of Southern California with a thesis on Japanese architecture history. She is interested in the interface between architecture and art, and the relationship between Korean and Japanese architecture. Her books include Postwar Japanese Architecture, which summarises the flow in modern Japanese architecture, and co-authored the following; The Specter of the National Avant-garde, Kim Chung-up Dialogue, Pavilion: Filling A
City with Emotions, The Experiments of Architopia, and Eyes of the Era. She also co-translated Art History After.
