Just how do we enjoy architecture of cities without traveling there? It’s easy. You can Google up names of buildings you’d like to see, and the search will take you to the other side of the world. It’s all through photography. Kim Yong-kwan is a photographer who takes pictures of buildings. He has captured Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, the old National Museum of Korea, the new building for Seoul City Hall, and the Stone, Wind and Water by Jun Itami. Kim has documented many of Korea’s famous buildings, including ones in Seoul, which has been going through rapid changes, with the rapid rotation of construction and demolition, since Kim began taking architectural photos in the 1990s.
