Description

This lavishly presented monograph delves into the dynamic work of master architect Taesun Hong, founder, CEO and design director of the firm YKH Associates. Taesun Hong's works straddle the realms of the philosophy of art, mathematics, science, nature, and music. As a skilled pianist, Taesun Hong provides the reader with an in-depth analysis of the way music and architecture intertwine, through the themes of instrument, scale, repetition, void, surprise, rhythm, dynamics, circulation and connection, and scale and proportion. This volume explores more than 30 outstanding projects, which provide the reader with an incisive commentary on the inspiration behind each work, with reference to these musical/architectural notations. Set out with rich, full-color photographs and detailed plans, this book is a wonderful addition to the comprehensive Master Architect Series by Images Publishing.
