책 소개

Realizing the task of architects goes beyond the professional realms and expands to a social participation, we declared our determination toward Soul of City in terms of three major titles such that: NATURE takes revenge on the soullessness of urbanization with fine dust, climate change, and diseases of domestic animals being born as our food. Thus, architects perceive the effort of nature to re-naturalize itself, and make every effort on natural rehabilitation of cities. In doing so, nature enlightens sustainable technologies.

Trends of urban architecture of the 21st century are inclining toward concerns of human and soul of cities.

The profession of architecture is traditionally to handle such compounded and difficult-to-be-solved tasks. Architects have made splendor of city life in human history. Remember and be proud of it! Architects should realize and know what we can and must do for the revival of Soul of City. It is evidently Soul of Architecture we have to revive first.
