Kyungdong Presbyterian Church
경동교회
byKim Swoo-geun[K.S.G.](kim sue-gun)· 김수근
A circuitous outdoor stair wraps the dark-brick exterior up to the sanctuary, deliberately slowing the worshipper's approach. Kim Swoo-geun considered this his most Korean work — its spatial procession echoes Buddhist temple sequences and traditional gardens.
