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...

Biography of Sung-Kyun Kim | Chapter 14:19 Part 2

6 ~ 13 SEPTEMBER 2015 | BALI AND WEST NUSA TENGGARA Similar to our January journey, I was waiting for Prof. Sung-Kyun Kim at Bali's international airport. He flew from Incheon International Airport at 18:00 local time on Sep 5th and arrived in Bali at 00:10 local time on Sep 6th. We then went up to the second floor of the international airport to sit down and stay there for our flight schedule to Lombok. We ordered two cups of coffee so we could sit in the chairs provided without feeling guilty. At that time we did not know that there was room on the same floor that could be used to wait without having to buy anything. We slept on chairs for a couple of hours. In the morning we left the place and walked towards the domestic departure section.  While waiting for our boarding time, Prof. Kim opened his laptop and showed me some pictures of the Deoksugung-gil design competition project. I was amazed to see that his imagined water color paintings could turn into reality on the g...
