Summary of the Nujeongwon book:


This book is about Prof. Sung-Kyun Kim. A kind of biography but more emphasis on the vision and
mission of his life.

Since he was a child, Sung-Kyun Kim has paid attention to his natural environment. Sung was born in
the city of Mungyeong, three years after the end of the Korean war which divided the country on the
Korean peninsula into two, North Korea and South Korea.

Sung_Kyun Kim experienced a period of the Korean population in food shortages. His family with
eight children also lives in concern, only being able to eat the bark of the pine tree which his mother
makes delicious food. His father, a teacher and principal, once said, "Sung, study hard, so that you
can improve our country, we inherit nature and culture from our ancestors, which are very beautiful
and good for building the quality of human life." Sung is a good listener, he also remembers his
father's words, "Sung, Indonesia is a country with good agricultural products, learn from the
Indonesian people too."

From his father's words, Sung used to pay attention to natural scenery and always tried to
understand the meaning of the natural beauty of his country's landscape.

Sung is not only a good listener, he is also a true witness. This habit of observing nature and
witnessing its natural beauty gave birth to his artistic potential, namely drawing and painting
landscapes. Since his youth, Sung has been fond of painting, both on paper and on canvas. Some of
his works are natural landscapes, beautiful landscapes of his hometown, Mungyeong-si.
So, since childhood, Sung-Kyun Kim had been doing Nujeongwon.

There is digital evidence that Sung-Kyun Kim published a Nujeongwon journal in 2006, entitled
Structure and Meaning of a Korean “Nujeongwon” on the China Academic Journals portal. This is
most likely the first time he declared the term “Nujeongwon”.

Prof. Sung-Kyun Kim:

"Nujeongwon is 'an exterior space, organized visually and conceptually as a whole, centered
around Nujeong building.' I start with this new definition for the Korean landscape, because we
cannot explain it in terms of the Western concept of a garden, such as, 'the artificial and fenced area
decorated for aesthetic and practical purposes.' "

THE SPIRIT OF ACLA   Since he was a child, Sung-Kyun Kim had paid lots of attention to the natural environment and Korean traditional culture in his homeland, in Korea. Sung was born in the city of Mungyeong-si, three years after the end of the Korean war.   The history which divided the country on the Korean peninsula into two, North Korea and South Korea. Sung's hometown is approximately 200 km from Seoul City by bus, and 153 km by train. Its location is southeast of the capital. Sung-Kyun Kim experienced the period when the Korean population was experiencing food difficulties. His family of eight children also lived a life of worry, only being able to eat pine tree bark which is processed into delicious food by his mother. His father, a teacher and school principal, once said, "Sung, study hard, so you can improve our country, we inherit nature and culture from our ancestors, which are very beautiful and good for building the quality of human life."

WHY Because of the global issue of climate change and its consequences, the Earth needs more ecological landscape management, which has the effect of reducing global warming. These include the arrangement of public spaces that reduce the use of fossil fuels, public spaces that provide additional oxygen supply, and support the hydrological cycle. The ACLA and APELA Forum together promote the maintenance of cultural landscapes and the arrangement of eco-friendly landscapes, primarily in the Asia Pacific and also in rest parts of the Earth. Cultural landscapes, the creative products of people that uphold the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, are one of the sustainable answers to the problem of environmental degradation on the Earth. There are plenty of evidences that the cultural landscape in Asia can last for thousands of years; one such example is the Korean landscape garden, Nujeongwon . We need to promote mass awakening, conserve, preserve and revitali...

Winding River Village by Kim, Sung-Kyun

  As what Prof. Kim, Sung-Kyun said in opening of his conclusion of this book:   “The purpose of my study has been the interpretations of variety and distinct landscapes with reference the meanings inherently imbedded, culturally perceived, traditionally exposed, spatial manifested and also poetically symbolized. This is not a problem with a solution or a final proof. There are no conclusions nor do the meanings add up to any single conclusion. Of course, it would be in vain, and maybe wrong-headed, to present and summarize all the different meanings of Hahoe landscapes that I found. Studying the meanings of landscapes involves refining and constantly expanding one’s understanding. The meaning of the landscape of Hahoe is still open to all of us and also to the resident villagers to interpret and re-interpret. Nevertheless, we need further refinements to understand their landscapes. Let me end their stories of the landscapes at this destination. I have been “There” and now I a...
