Hanok: The Korean House provides new insights on the stylish traditional homes that are increasingly popular in Seoul today. While the exteriors of these houses are indistinguishable from traditional Hanok that were built decades ago, the insides have completely changed and adapted with the times. Korea is a nation that has radically transformed itself in recent decades, yet amidst the glass-and-steel skyscrapers and luxury apartments, the traditional Korean home or Hanok still survives and plays a surprisingly important role. This book showcases 12 very special Hanok that have been selected to reflect the Korea of today-a country of traditional values with a modern approach.
