for a small magazine published three times a year to feature the architecture of a single country as a special topic, without limiting the scope to a specific period, person, or current trend. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, if the reader of this book is currently working in the Korean architectural world, “Japanese” architecture will feel like a much more suitable magazine topic than American, Vietnamese, Mexican, or French architecture.\u003cbr\u003e When it comes to the Korean architectural world today, Japan is a much clearer focus than other countries.\u003cbr\u003e Japan was the biggest, yet most hidden, or wanted to be hidden, partner of modern Korean architecture.\u003cbr\u003e 『Labyrinth』 No. 2 summons this typist.\u003cbr\u003e Even if we have to deal with a very small part of it in a very distracting way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFilter called Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since the word 'architecture' itself is a Japanese translation, we must look to Japan to talk about the beginning of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for the words architecture, modern and contemporary.\u003cbr\u003e Kangmin Lee meticulously traces the circumstances that led Japan to choose 'architecture' as its translation and its aftermath. \u003cbr\u003eHere we can see that the most deep-rooted conflict in Korean architecture, the separation between architects and architectural historians, was anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e This article will be a great antidote to articles that ask how faithful architecture is to the word architecture, which dates back to Greece (usually leading to the conclusion that there is no such architecture in Korea).\u003cbr\u003e Kim Hyeon-seop reaffirms that Korean architects' understanding of modern architecture during the Japanese colonial period was achieved through Japanese translations.\u003cbr\u003e The first Korean authors to write about Western modern architecture, such as Go Yu-seop, Park Dong-jin, Hong Yun-sik, and Park Gil-ryong, were wearing the glasses of Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJapanese architecture through Western eyes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The writings of Western architects in the early 20th century had a significant influence on Japanese architecture's rise to international fame.\u003cbr\u003e Japan, the only country outside the West to have followed the path of imperialism, was an object of fascination for European architects. \u003cbr\u003eThey repeatedly said that modernity can be found in Japanese tradition.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Ki-won critically interprets Ise Jingu and Katsura Rikyu, as read by Bruno Taut, and Jeon Tae-gyu traces fragments of Japanese architecture that were influenced by the brutalism that arose in postwar Britain.\u003cbr\u003e And I translated and published Bruno Taut's \"Fundamentals of Japanese Architecture,\" which is one of the origins of this perspective.\u003cbr\u003e Bruno Taut, who was active in various organizations such as the German Werkbund, the Art Workers' Council, and the Glass Chain, was one of the most important architects in Germany in the 1910s and 1920s.\u003cbr\u003e This article, based on a speech Taut gave in Japan in 1935, helped create the myth of Japanese architecture.\u003cbr\u003e You can witness how he interpreted traditional Japanese architecture through the eyes of a contemporary European and what he sought to learn from Japanese architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eParallel universes of Japan and Korea\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe journey of overcoming the architecture learned in Japan and seeking out something Korean is a narrative shared by all modern Korean architects.\u003cbr\u003e The myth of Kim Swoo-geun, who, after experiencing the controversy over the Buyeo Museum's Japanese influence in 1967, focused on Korean elements and ushered in the era of space in the 1970s, also belongs here.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, Park Chun-myung, who won the Namsan National Assembly Building design competition with Kim Swoo-geun in 1961 and has been active in Korea since then, is rarely seen in the field of architectural discourse.\u003cbr\u003e Jo Hyun-jung compares these two architects who started from the same starting point but took completely different paths.\u003cbr\u003e For Park Chun-myung, whose work mostly involved high-rise buildings or large-scale projects for large corporations, Japan was, to borrow Jo Hyun-jung's words, \"the right answer.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Japan did not play the role of the answer only in architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The greater traces of Japan that remained in the city became a faint but indelible outline of the urban planning that unfolded across the country in the 1960s. \u003cbr\u003eLee Yeon-kyung talks about the Ulsan urban planning process, a representative example of early urban planning, and the hidden hand of Japanese urban planners who worked on it.\u003cbr\u003e In home appliances and industrial design, Japan was also a model answer to past exam questions.\u003cbr\u003e Park Hae-cheon's writing, which depicts the efforts of the Goldstar Design Research Institute to acquire a sense of belonging to the same era by moving between imitation and creation, future and past, tells us that similar things have happened in various fields.\u003cbr\u003e The path taken in architecture and industrial design can be expanded to include automobiles, movies, and popular music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow Korean architects view Japan these days\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Comparing Tokyo and Seoul, Go Jae-hyeop says that the conditions for architectural practice are completely different.\u003cbr\u003e If Tokyo is sterilized and sealed with plastic wrap, Seoul is covered in Vantablack paint.\u003cbr\u003e In Seoul, where architecture has turned a blind eye to reality for the sake of propriety, it is diagnosed that architecture is already dead. \u003cbr\u003eThe idea that the architecture we knew or assumed should be possible (or never was) is simply not possible naturally leads to concerns about the work itself.\u003cbr\u003e Park Chang-hyun explores the possibility of moving beyond the role of an architect, who focuses solely on drawing plans and delivering them to contractors (a standard definition of an architect since the Renaissance).\u003cbr\u003e For architects who share similar perspectives, Japan remains a close reference, but the focus is not on the forms of buildings or new technologies, but rather on the way life unfolds in a shrinking society.\u003cbr\u003e The attitude of paying attention to everyday life and discovering possibilities different from existing architecture can be easily confirmed in the writings of Lee Hae-deun and Choi Jae-pil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJapanese Architecture as Text\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What this special feature makes clear is that the power of Japanese architecture is produced through text. \u003cbr\u003eAs Lim Tae-hee pointed out, Japan is where architects are most actively publishing text-based books.\u003cbr\u003e The language accumulated over decades provides a way to read their practice and, conversely, gives authority to their work.\u003cbr\u003e Tae-Byeong Lim, who has been continuously following the trends of contemporary Japanese architecture for over 30 years, introduces the genealogy of Japanese architects in detail, but on the other hand, this article also serves as a rich list of recommended books.\u003cbr\u003e Jun Matsumura's \"The Architect Who Doesn't Build\" was translated in 2024 and caused a huge stir.\u003cbr\u003e Min Seong-hui's review of this book goes beyond an introduction to the book and expands into suggestions for architects anxious about an uncertain future.\u003cbr\u003e Within the vast field of architecture, 『Miro』 is a magazine that primarily deals with architecture as culture, theory, history, and criticism. \u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, it was impossible to completely ignore the legal, institutional, and industrial aspects of Japanese architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The achievements of outstanding Japanese architecture are based on an industrial system that produces high-quality, ordinary buildings.\u003cbr\u003e This part is supplemented by Lee Yang-jae's writing.
