Seoul-based architect Jong Soung Kimm's roots are in Korea, but his formative years were spent in Chicago in the office of Mies van der Rohe. From 1961 to 1972 Kimm worked on iconic projects like the meticulously crafted Brown Wing of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In 1978, Kimm returned to Seoul, opening his own architectural design consultancy, SAC International. For the past 30 years, Kimm's buildings have evinced both an admiration for Mies and a Korean sensibility. This volume is a much-needed comprehensive look at Kimm's oeuvre, which infuses Mies' principles of tectonics with his own reliance on intuition.
