It's a name that readers who broadly study the humanities, arts, and sciences will easily recall.\u003cbr\u003e He is the author of 『Listen to Architecture Like Music, See It Like Art』, which opened a new chapter in the field of architecture books over ten years ago.\u003cbr\u003e At a time when architecture books were usually placed between thick engineering books in bookstores, the Korean architecture book market was turned upside down by the emergence of an innovative method called 'humanistic writing.'\u003cbr\u003e Architecture? Since \"Architecture: Listen Like Music, See Like Art,\" which provided a profound and engaging insight into the true nature of buildings, readers have gained a new and refreshing reading area: architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The genre of architectural stories that blend art and humanities was created by Seo Hyun and continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e Now, he presents a new humanistic architectural theory, “Asking Architecture.” \u003cbr\u003eIf the previous work offered readers a variety of new approaches to the \"genre\" of architecture, the new work presented today offers a \"profound answer\" to \"thoughtful readers\" who seek to understand the essence and value of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA question I have been preparing for 10 years: “What is architecture?”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first diary entry in the book is this.\u003cbr\u003e “What is it?” he asks again and again in the book.\u003cbr\u003e “What is architecture?” Faced with the weighty question of “what is it?” that is difficult to bear, he decides to reveal its true nature.\u003cbr\u003e It is completely different from the various architectural books that ask grand questions and then reveal and conceal them appropriately with metaphysical and vague sentences.\u003cbr\u003e So, what about \"Asking Architecture\"? It's very logical.\u003cbr\u003e Also, there are no gaps. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, a self-proclaimed avid reader, faced the fundamental question, “What is architecture?” and resolved not to answer it without a thorough and logical approach.\u003cbr\u003e And then I ask the first question.\u003cbr\u003e “Is architecture art?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But this first question turns out to be off the mark.\u003cbr\u003e This should be a past tense question, “Is architecture included in the category of art?” and this should be revealed through history, not art.\u003cbr\u003e Since then, many suspect figures, events, and buildings from the architectural world in history have been summoned in his writings. \u003cbr\u003eNot only Greek thinkers like Aristotle and Plato and Roman architectural sites, but also major figures in the world of architecture before and after the Renaissance, such as Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Alberti, and Bernini, as well as modern and contemporary figures like Gropius, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, are summoned one after another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eErase each item one by one, approaching the root of architecture.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the past, architects, who were nothing more than insignificant beings outside the iron fortress of liberal arts, acquired their own status by preparing various theoretical books and establishing their own systems through internal and external efforts, and even formed an 'academy' to elevate architecture to the ranks of academic disciplines and even acquired 'academic credentials.' \u003cbr\u003eArchitecture, which has been exploring the reason for existence and the value of existence as if walking a tightrope at the boundary between art and technology, finally grasps its own essence and reality by forming diverse relationships, such as redefining space and utilizing it.\u003cbr\u003e The author summarizes the meaning of architecture formed through this series of processes in the following sentence.\u003cbr\u003e “Architecture is the work of reorganizing human life through space.” The author’s own words explain the detailed context of this sentence as follows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *“The reason for the existence of architecture, its meaning, and its value lies in reorganizing human life.\u003cbr\u003e This is the meaning and value of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The organizer is an architect.\u003cbr\u003e An architect is someone who proposes human life and human systems.\u003cbr\u003e The society depicted in architecture is not a subversive society, but a critical society.\u003cbr\u003e The architect's tool is architectural space.\u003cbr\u003e The architect's weapon is imagination based on critical reflection. \u003cbr\u003eAn architect begins with analysis and criticism of society and then uses imagination to create alternatives.\u003cbr\u003e This is the meaning of existence that architects have discovered throughout history.\u003cbr\u003e “This is the present tense of what those who have sought to be socially significant over the centuries have finally found.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this way, he visits various architectural sites throughout history, including key architectural events and figures, and asks questions, exploiting the gaps in those questions to get closer to the essence of architecture step by step.\u003cbr\u003e Questions are eliminated one by one, and in the web of questions he has woven, architecture is torn apart through the tight mesh of art, artisanship, use, function, technology, space, meaning, society, etc., and then finds its substance again.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, the author analyzes the etymology of the term 'architecture' from a unique perspective to clarify the meaning of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e*“The meaning of architecture begins with asking about history and society.\u003cbr\u003e It is asking what it is.\u003cbr\u003e That something is the origin (arche).\u003cbr\u003e The result of implementing the answer to the exploration and reflection on the origin in an architectural manner is a certain form of structure.\u003cbr\u003e This is the meaning of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The social value of an architect.\u003cbr\u003e If I had to give it a name, it would be like this.\u003cbr\u003e “The social existence of the architect.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat is architecture?
