French Embassy in Seoul
주한 프랑스 대사관
byKim Chung-up[K.C.U.](kim choong-up)· 김중업
Kim Chung-up's masterpiece, often called Korea's most important modern building. The roof's curving canopy, evocative of traditional Korean eaves, sits atop a Corbusian pilotis — a synthesis Kim developed during his Paris atelier years.
