In Pavilions for Giving, Dr Jin-Ho Park explores how the role of the modern architect continues to evolve and emphasizes the growing importance of giving back to the community. This book presents six meaningful pro bono projects designed and constructed for local communities in Korea.
Showcasing how architecture can positively impact society, the pavilions have proven valuable to the local people of each location and served a bigger purpose for social welfare.
The projects have also provided a unique chance to explore new designs and methods of construction. The details of these creative and constructive processes are provided in the in-depth narratives throughout the book and highlight the hard work and coordination behind each pavilion.
The six sustainable pavilions have not only considered the health and safety of the recipients, as well as undoubtedly improved the everyday lives of people, including children and older generations, but they have also involved student architects who have gained invaluable hands-on experience.
