Architect Jo Byeong-su, who draws the land and sky,
A metaphorical story about the house he built

"House Underground, House on the Ground - Byung-soo Jo" contains an explanation and literary story of Byung-soo Jo's house project on the ground.
The architecture of Cho Byung-soo, known for his works such as the Namhae Southcape Hotel and Twin Tree Towers, is characterized by simple practicality.
Many people like his architecture because it is straightforward yet has a sophisticated sensibility.
That is why critics describe his architecture as 'sophistication in roughness' and 'indifference in sophistication'.

This book focuses solely on his land-based projects among his architectural projects.
The house is buried in the ground, has a view of the sky, and is in harmony with nature.
The series of earthen houses, which includes the earthen house, the slanted roof house, and the earthen meditation house, uses the elevation of the terrain to show an interesting relationship between the yard and the interior space.
"House Underground, House on the Ground - Byung-soo Jo" contains descriptions, drawings, and photos of four ground house projects and the ongoing Horizon House.
In addition, Jo Byeong-su's 'Architecture Story of the Land' contains his intense experiences with the land during his teenage years and metaphorical stories about the land.
In particular, there are short writings written by dramaturge Yeom Hye-won while staying at the house in the winter and summer of 2008, allowing one to feel the purification of day and night and the change of seasons at the house.
This book provides an indirect experience of Korean traditional houses, showcasing the regional characteristics of architecture.
Through this book, readers will be able to see how the land, the foundation of life and architecture, is emotionally incorporated into his architecture.
