Seogyo Geunsaeng Residential Building / aoa architects

“l'existence précède l'essence”  It has been a long time since colorless and odorless minimalism has become power in Korean architecture or design. I am amazed at the finish and the way it is made, but if I look at it, there is something uncomfortable about it, probably because of the vomiting caused by the doctrinal attitude behind it, that there is a more correct metaphysical idea. Unless we acknowledge our barren lives and the reality of the city I am stepping on as it is and present our possibilities in it, our architecture will not only be alienated from the public, but also uniqueness from a global perspective.
