| Summary: | A book about a large building (216,000 m2) recently built (between 2010 and 2018) in east Asia (Seoul) for a Korean beauty and cosmetics company (Amorepacific) as their headquarters (encompassing a museum, library, auditorium, kindergarden, restaurants, laboratories and offices for 7000 employees), designed by an international architectural firm (David Chipperfield Architects Berlin) following clear design principles (simple form and organization, connecting with city and nature, real materials), situated between different urban fabrics (a new business district, a large park and a small-scale mixed-use neighborhood) and built from various materials from the region and all over the world (concrete, aluminium, glass, granite, textile, wood). The book compiles 860 documents that were generated during the planning and construction process of the Amorepacific headquarters in Seoul. The artefacts are complemented by two image series by photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu. |
