About This Book

The author sums up the Korea's traditional space in two words - emptiness and formlessness, and examines many of the spatial characteristics under such various notions as transparency, overlapping, multi-layering, inner/outer unity, variability and circularity.

He recognizes that emptying and non-definitiveness are all incorporated in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and thus takes them as a symbolic manifestation of the most popular sentiment of Korean people.
