Features: The reason this series of architect albums is titled "Avant-garde" is not to pursue fashion. Its intention is simply to emphasize the somewhat "pioneering" or "leading the way" quality reflected in these architects. A major feature of this personal album series is that it includes both the architect's own perspectives (essays, interviews, or reviews) and chronological work descriptions. This allows readers to deepen their understanding of the architect's thoughts and works through repeated comparison, something no authoritative commentary can match. Kim Sook-jae is a Korean architect who closely observes the spatial characteristics of traditional architecture and has successfully transformed them into a modern architectural language. The defining feature of his 30-year career is the symbolic form.
