The Inner Harmony of Arts, Science, and Nature: Korean Architecture

July 31, 2017-October 30, 2017
Location: Asia Collection

Korean architecture encompasses the built structures of Korea and their surrounding contexts. Like other art forms of Korea, architecture is characterized by naturalistic tendencies, simplicity, economy of shape, and the avoidance of extremes. The Korea Collection is holding materials on Korean Architecture to support Architecture Studies, Korean Arts, History, and Korean Studies in general. The acquisition of a large number of both monographs and serials on Korean Architecture was funded by the Korea Foundation. This exhibit is curated by Jude Yang, Korean Studies Librarian, and Gwen Kang, Junior Visiting Librarian at the Korea Collection.
